Hide soft menus?

So if there is some trick that really can hide the soft menus, then I would love to hear it.

Thanks.

If your goal is simply to hide the menus, then there are several options, and there's no need to resort to SystemRPL to do it on either the 48gx or 50g. Just be aware that the area normally occupied by the menus will simply be occupied by some other graphical image as opposed to being used as additional stack space.

As an example, try running the following code on either the 48gx or the 50g:

Code:

\<<
   #21d #8d BLANK "" 2 \->LIST
   DUP DUP DUP DUP DUP
   6 \->LIST
   TMENU
\>>

You should find that the soft menu is now gone, but the area is simply "blanked out" instead of being used for any particular purpose. I believe this qualifies as one example of how to have the cleaner display that you identified above. Note that any operation that changes the menu will then override this blank area, but that's probably what you would want anyway, right?
