Detached menus

Detached menus are created using the GUI$\backslash$PANEL /DETACH command. Once created, buttons and pulldown menus can be defined within the detached menu using respectively the GUI$\backslash$BUTTON and GUI$\backslash$MENU commands respectively. There are no associated variables to the detached menus. Help is available through a Help button. The menu is mapped when the GUI$\backslash$GO command is typed.

The following procedure illustrates how to create a detach menu; it creates a menu bar with 3 pulldown menus and a help button.
