 Hi:

 I've looked that up already. But no examples are shown.
 So... from a menu with the name "Scheme", I wish to remove the item
 with the name "Compile Scheme File".
 Here's what I've tried:
 (easy-menu-remove-item scheme-mode-map 
   '("Scheme") "Compile Scheme File")

 the evaluation returns nil, but the item remains.
 Other failed attempts indicate that emacs expects a series for 
 'path. 

 It occurs to me that much of emacs documentation should provide more
 information about the datatypes required.

 If I evaluate C-h v scheme-mode-map<RET>
 I see something like this:
 (menu-bar keymap
		   (scheme "Scheme" keymap
					;; .... deleted
				   (compile-file "Compile Scheme File"
								 (nil)
								 . scheme-compile-file)
					;; ... deleted
				   "Scheme"))
 The clue must be in there somewhere! :-)

   I've looked at scheme.el and I can't locate the definition.
   Not even sure if easy-menu-* procedures are used
   (grep doesn't find easy-menu in any file that seems to be
    related or 'require'd to scheme)
Thanks
