Description

The SET SYSMENU command is used to enable or disable the system menu bar which displays along the top of the screen when you are at the interactive prompt. When SYSMENU is set OFF from the interactive prompt, the menu bar cannot be accessed with the [MENUBAR] key. When SYSMENU is set OFF from a config.db file, the menu bar is not displayed. When SYSMENU is set ON, pressing the [MENUBAR] key accesses the menu bar. If the menu bar has been disabled in a config.db file, SET SYSMENU ON will display the menu bar and enable the [MENUBAR] key to access it.

AUTOMATIC

The AUTOMATIC setting ensures that the system menu bar is visible during program execution, allowing access to the appropriate menu items according to the current command.
