SYMPTOMS

According to the online Help and the "Language Reference" manual, the SET SKIP OF MENU _MSYSMENU .T. command lets you disable the entire FoxPro system menu bar.

However, the SET SKIP OF MENU _MSYSMENU .T. command only works as designed in both FoxPro for MS-DOS and Windows. In FoxPro for Macintosh, the SET SKIP OF MENU _MSYSMENU .T. does not disable the entire system menu, but when you attempt to select any of the menu options, FoxPro for Macintosh ignores the selection.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Load FoxPro for MS-DOS or Windows. In the Command window, issue the SET SKIP OF MENU _MSYSMENU .T. command. The entire FoxPro system menu bar will be disabled.
Load FoxPro for Macintosh. In the Command window, issue the SET SKIP OF MENU _MSYSMENU .T. command. The entire FoxPro system menu bar remains enabled.
Click any of the menu options; you will not receive any response.
