This is not about the name of the item but about what happens when you 
select it.

To my understanding, if the menu item results in an additional form where 
user input is requested before the requested operation can be completed, 
"..." is added to the item name.

So things like load, save as, preferences, change font, delete, and so on 
should probably all have a trailing ellipsis (like the built-in apps).

But this may be the result of being exposed to Windows interface 
guidelines, the Palm documentation doesn't say anything at all about the 
use of the ellipsis...
