FWIW, below is what I get on XP for Word Menu bar and its 13 children. Showing
only self (child 0) and child 1 because all of the other children look exactly
the same as child 1. Below that are self (child 0) and child 1 of wordpad
OBJID_MENU's six children. At the bottom is the script function that produced
the output. All are property-gets except one function (functions do not work
period and property gets are very spotty, and no facility to translate the role
or state).
