The main purpose of this menu is to make it easier to keep track of all open windows. Each time you open a new window a new menu item is added showing the title of the window. When you close the window, this item will be removed again.

If a window is hidden behind other windows, you can bring it to the front by selecting the menu item in the “Windows” menu corresponding to this window.

In addition to the menu items corresponding to the open windows, the menu also contains a few “utility” commands.

Help…

This command is used to bring up the “DynRisk-Help” file. If this file is open already, the menu item changes simply to “DynRisk-Help”.

Note that if you placed the “DynRisk-Help” file in the same directory as the DynRisk application, DynRisk will find this file automatically. If on the other hand you placed it somewhere else, you will be asked to locate the file. Unless you move it again, DynRisk will remember the location the next time you use the “Help…” command.

Free memory…

This command is used to display the amount of free RAM left. If the active document is a model document, you can also use this command to see the number of model objects in this document. 

The amount of free RAM will depend on the size of your model, and on the amount of RAM you have chosen to set aside for DynRisk in the Finder. 

Zoom

The “Zoom” command is used to expand the active window such that it fills the screen. If you hold down the Option key while selecting “Zoom” the window will shrink back to its former position. Usually you would use the zoom box on the right hand side of the window title field to control the window size. However, in cases where a window is expanded or moved to a position where this box is outside of the screen or hidden behind the toolbar, you may find the “Zoom” command useful.

Hide/Show toolbar

The toolbar is located just below the menubar, and contains buttons for the most frequently used operations. The “Hide toolbar” command is used to hide the toolbar. This is useful if you need a little more screen space for the active window. If the toolbar is hidden, the menu item is changed to “Show toolbar”. The “Show toolbar” command is used to bring the toolbar back again.
