How to delete item from menu bar

How to delete item from menu bar

[Tim Johnson]

Hello:
I'd like to delete an item from the menu bar.
It may or it may not be created by an easy-menu function.

Specifically, the item "Scheme" in scheme-mode.

How may I do that?
Thanks
tim

Doing C-h f easy-menu-remove shows:

easy-menu-remove-item is a compiled Lisp function in `easymenu.el'.
(easy-menu-remove-item map path name)

>From submenu of map with path path remove item name.
map and path are defined as in `easy-menu-add-item'.
name should be a string, the name of the element to be removed.

 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

(define-key scheme-mode-map [menu-bar scheme] nil)

 Yes. That did it.
 I did find that 'easy-menu-remove-item *does* work for menu
 items created with 'easy-menu-define

 Example: Menu "Foos", items "Foo1", "Foo2", ....
 (easy-menu-remove-item nil '("Foo") "Foo1") ;; remove item
 (easy-menu-remove-item nil '() "Foo") ;; remove menu

 Thanks Kevin
