Extended Definition:

1. The preliminary parameters of the toolbar like size, rank and label are set using this command.
2. The pop-up help and documentation help can be specified in appropriate columns.
3. The size of the toolbar can be specified either in terms of number of pixels. Alternatively, the size can also be stated as relative to the pop_up window
4. The vertical and horizontal resizing options are used to adjust the placement of the toolbar menu on existing pop_window. For example, attach_left; attach_top options for Horiz_resizing and Vert_resizing will place the toolbar on the top left corner of the pop_up. The location can also be specified from the top left corner by adjusting the parameter ‘location’
5. The size of the toolbar window can be specified with respect to the pop_up window size. The value for parameter height and width should be a real number between 0.0 and 2.0, where 2.0 represents the height of the window. Therefore, a value of 1.0 will set the toolbar to be one half as high as the pop_up window.
6. The toolbar remains on the ‘top’ of other windows if specified ‘yes’ for the parameter ‘top’
