BUG: SET SYSMENU OFF Malfunctioning

• Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When the SET SYSMENU OFF command has been issued, the FoxPro menu is still visible and functional during program execution and some of the menu pads appear to be mislabeled when pulled down.

The Window menu does not drop down.
