Description
The methods "public void select(int pos)" and "public void select(String str)"
of Choice, and the method "public void select(int index)" of List
should specifically state that these methods should be primarily used to
intially selecting the item of the component.  By programmatically calling
these methods will not trigger an ItemEvent.  There should be an emphasis
on the only way to trigger an ItemEvent is by user interaction.  Many users
were under the impression that by using these methods it'll trigger
and ItemEvent.
