A guimenuitem identifies a terminal selection from a menu in a graphical user interface. In particular, this is distinct from a menu (guimenu) and a submenu (guisubmenu). The distinction between a guimenuitem and a guisubmenu is simply whether or not the selection is terminal or leads to an additional submenu.
