My idea was that a new user who just hits `Delete', expecting it  
to do something, may not notice the menu item--but if it's  
initially bound to `Delete', it's activated the first time  
`Delete' is pressed.  I don't believe a submenu can be bound to a  
key--and it couldn't offer the explanation, either:
