Menu Bars
=========

   You can turn display of menu bars on or off with `M-x menu-bar-mode'
or by customizing the option `menu-bar-mode'.  With no argument, this
command toggles Menu Bar mode, a minor mode.  With an argument, the
command turns Menu Bar mode on if the argument is positive, off if the
argument is not positive.  You can use the X resource `menuBarLines' to
control the initial setting of Menu Bar mode.  Note: Resources X.

   Expert users often turn off the menu bar, especially on text-only
terminals, where this makes one additional line available for text.  If
the menu bar is off, you can still pop up a menu of its contents with
`C-Mouse-3' on a display which supports pop-up menus.  Note: Menu Mouse
Clicks.

   Note: Menu Bar, for information on how to invoke commands with the
menu bar.
