In the QB.EXE Version 4.50 environment, when a program is run using
any of the debug features, the reference bar is replaced by a debug
reference bar listing the debugging keys and their actions. The normal
reference bar is as follows:

   <SHIFT+F1=Help> <F6= > <F2=Subs> <F5=Run> <F8=Step>

The debug mode reference bar is as follows:

   <SHIFT+F1=Help> <F5=Continue> <F9=Toggle Bkpt> <F8=Step>

The normal reference bar is not replaced until the program ends by
reaching an END or STOP statement.

To restore the normal reference bar, go to the immediate window and
type STOP and press ENTER. This will terminate the program and restore
the reference bar.
