ActionMenu/MenuItem

[Gauthier, Bob]

We are using Quick (VAX/VMS 710g) to provide screens for a Warehouse
management application.  We are using Intermec handheld terminals running VT
emulation.  There are a maximum of 20 characters by 8 lines on the display.
There will be a menu with several items to choose from.  We could use a
standard menu approach but would like to use a pull-down menu instead.  This
would consist of a one command ActionMenu with several MenuItems below it as
a pull-down list.  This works fine but we are looking for a way to invoke
(PUSH?) the pull-down options immediately on entering the screen rather than
having to press Return at the ActionMenu level.  This is to avoid
overcomplication from the user's perspective and also make a really slick
use of Quick. The ActionMenu might look something like
ACTIONMENU LABEL		"Menu"		MENUKEY "M"
        MENUITEM LABEL 	"Locations" 	ACTION DESIGNER LOCN  MENUKEY "L"
        MENUITEM LABEL 	"Other"     	ACTION DESIGNER OTHER MENUKEY "O"
        MENUITEM LABEL 	"Quit"      	ACTION RETURN         MENUKEY "Q"
