menu help echo

[Dr Francis J. Wright]

In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt4.0.1381)
 of 2002-03-19 on buffy
configured using `configure --with-msvc (12.00)'
Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: nil
  value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
  value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
  value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
  value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
  value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
  value of $LC_TIME: nil
  value of $LANG: ENG
  locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1
  default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In the emacs-21.1.90 pretest, menu help echo was working, but in this
version it no longer works.  For example, the File menu now produces no
help echo, whereas previously every item in it did produce help echo. 
First brief testing suggests that help echo for items other than menu
items does appear to work.  (Starting Emacs with no init file makes no
difference.)
