By default, the only window in Common LispWorks to contain a menu bar is the LispWorks podium. The menu commands in this menu bar operate on whichever Common LispWorks window is currently active. If you prefer each tool to have its own menu bar, you can configure this by choosing Tools > Options and toggle Each tool has its own menu bar .
Note: This manual assumes the default Common LispWorks configuration: only the LispWorks podium has a menu bar.
Note: If you are using the new Windows Multiple Document Interface (MDI), then this menu appears at the top of the parent MDI window.
