The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, versions 2.5x, 2.6a 
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The SET SYSMENU TO _MWINDOW command does not disable the Window menu in FoxPro
for Macintosh.

This behavior differs from FoxPro for Windows, which disables the Window menu
when running the same code.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

Create and run the following program:

     SET TOPIC TO TRAN
     SET SYSMENU TO _MWINDOW
     SET SKIP OF MENU _MSYSMENU .T.
     DEFINE PAD help OF _MSYSMENU PROMPT "\<Help" COLOR SCHEME 3 ;
       KEY F1, "F1"
     ON SELECTION PAD help OF _MSYSMENU HELP
     SET MACHELP DISABLE
     SET MACDESKTOP OFF
     SET APLABOUT DISABLE
     MODIFY WINDOW screen NOCLOSE NOZOOM

commands on the Window menu are disabled, they do not actually run.
