  12     The wxFileHistory encapsulates a user interface convenience, the list of
  13     most recently visited files as shown on a menu (usually the File menu).
  14
  15     wxFileHistory can manage one or more file menus. More than one menu may be
  16     required in an MDI application, where the file history should appear on
  17     each MDI child menu as well as the MDI parent frame.
