Clear Menus, Clear Popups

These two commands each release different menu components from memory.

Usage

CLEAR MENUS CLEAR POPUPS

CLEAR MENUS discards menus (the menu bar itself) and their associated pads. CLEAR POPUPS releases popups and their associated bars (that is, items—isn't term overloading fun?).

We never use either of these because we always build our menus with the Menu Designer and base them on the system menu.

Example

DEFINE MENU mymenu  DEFINE PAD one OF mymenu PROMPT "first" DEFINE PAD two OF mymenu PROMPT "second" ON PAD one OF mymenu ACTIVATE POPUP three ON PAD two OF mymenu ACTIVATE POPUP four   DEFINE POPUP three DEFINE BAR 1 OF three PROMPT "subitem 1" DEFINE BAR 2 OF three PROMPT "subitem 2" DEFINE POPUP four DEFINE BAR 1 OF four PROMPT "item 1" DEFINE BAR 2 OF four PROMPT "item 2" DEFINE BAR 3 OF four PROMPT "item 3"   DISPLAY MEMORY  && to see what's defined CLEAR MENUS DISPLAY MEMORY  && note that only menu and pads are gone CLEAR POPUPS DISPLAY MEMORY  && now it's all cleaned up
