Yep, they are no BViews. I briefly thought about adding a "Tools->Help" page 
which contains these strings again, or somehow extending the introduction 
text, but felt comfortable with neither. Any ideas? One could of course 
override the BMenu used, and indeed set a tool tip when the mouse hovers over 
the respective item...
