System Menu Names
The following tables list the internal names and user interface names for the Visual FoxPro system menu bar, menu titles, menus, and menu items. With these names you can use the Visual FoxPro system menu bar to create a menu system for your own application.
The SYS(2013) function returns a space-delimited string containing these names. You can also create a quick menu using the Menu Designer to see the internal system menu names.
For more information on the system menu bar, see Designing Menus and Toolbars.
