PANEL

        GUI\PANEL "Title" HelpFile [/DETACH] [/LOG LogFile]
        GUI\PANEL [HelpFile] /CLOSE

    Activate the Graphic-User-Interface input mode for variables.  A  window
    with the specified title is created, but not mapped to the screen.  Suc-
    cessive LET commands will create widgets in this window to allow to mod-
    ify  variables  by  entering values in the widgets. Command GUI\GO "Com-
    mand" will map the window to the screen. Once the proper input has  been
    defined,  clicking  on  the "GO" button will setup all the related vari-
    ables in the main program, and execute the associated command.  Clicking
    on  button  "UPDATE"  will  only  set the variables.  Clicking on button
    "ABORT" will return without modifying the variables.

    Help is available in the window through  the  "HELP"  button,  but  also
    clicking in any prompt area.

    See LET command for details.

    If  option  /DETACH is present, a menubar is created instead of a normal
    window. Several buttons can  be  attached  to  this  menubar  using  the
    GUI\BUTTON  and  GUI\MENU  commands, but no variables can be set in this
    mode. The menubar is mapped when command GUI\GO is typed.

    If option /CLOSE is present, the last detached menubar, or the specified
    one, is deleted.

    /LOG option stores variable definitions in specified log file.
