Menubar and Message Line

New data files are created, existing data files are opened, the state of DISH is saved, a previously saved state is restored, and DISH is reset to its default initial state through the File menu. The GUI panels for each available operation are enabled and dismissed through the Operations menu. The Options menu has two options which can be turned on or off. The ``Write to Script'' option, when turned on, causes DISH to echo the underlying glish commands to the AIPS++ defaultscripter (ds) tool when a GUI operation occurs in DISH. This can be a way to learn more about what DISH is doing behind the scenes and write glish scripts to do operations not yet available in DISH. When the ``Save when done'' option is turned on, the state of DISH is saved to the current state file when the ``done'' function is invoked (e.g. dish.done()). The ``done'' function is always invoked whenever you exit glish. Because DISH can not be restarted after ``done'' has been called it is best not to do that unless you are about to exit glish. This deficiency will be corrected in the next release.

The Message Line is the text immediately below the Results Manager. These messages are also echoed to the AIPS++ logger for longer term storage.
