How can I hide a menu bar?

[tryn2learn]

I'm trying to 'hide' a menu bar, not the entire menu nor do I wish to hide an entire pop up either. I'm displaying a variable in the bar when the variable contains a value. For example under the option FILE it's displaying
Save
Search
Delete
Cut
Copy
Paste
** on these lines I
** diplay variable value if one is
** present
Quit

I prefer to see the following if the empty(variables):

Save
Search
Delete
Cut
Copy
Paste
Quit

What I'm seeing then are blank lines on the menu bar. I want to 'shrink' it so the blank lines are not visible. I've found HIDE MENU and HIDE POPUP in the help file, but these seem to hide everything not just the one line. Any suggestions?

I think you could:

1. Activate different popups according to the variable value (PUSH MENU; ACTIVATE MENU; POP MENU) or
2. Enable or disable the bar options according to variable value (SET SKIP OF BAR OF)

Good luck
