Windows Menu Structure
MICRODEM is designed with a standard Windows MDI interface. A
parent window fills the screen, and child windows can be arranged
on it. A toolbar on the top of the
screen reflects the major options. Each child window will have
its own toolbar. The toolbars can be hidden using the options
menu. The main menu across
the top changes to reflect the options available in the currently
active child window, indicated by a blue highlight. The options
will also vary according to the menu structure for the version of
the program you are running.

change depending on the active child window.
