Put the cursor on a menu title such as `Emacs', not on a menu item.
Hit `RET'.
You see this user-error message:
"Point neither on reference nor in menu item description"
Technically, that's not quite correct. Point is a position. It is the
cursor position (just before it). A position is not "on" or "in"
something. It is more correct to say that the _cursor_ is not on...
