You don't need 2 menus with split screen. The "active" database will have the
title bar colored so it is obvious and the other open database window title
bars will be dimmed. Prior versions of Legacy allowed for up to 9 databases to
be open simultaneously even though it was pretty crowded on screen. The
current help file for version 8 states that up to 6 databases can be open at
the same time.
The "active" database is the one that the menu will affect. You can't execute
more than 1 menu at the same time anyway so just click the title bar of the
window you want to use and then whatever menu commands you want for that window.

With the split screen view you don't get two menus. Legacy will not allow you
to open two menus in the same instance of the program to compare anything. I
hate that about Legacy actually.

open side-by-side with that. If you have two monitors, you can
stretch the window across both so that one file is on one screen
and the other on the other screen (or so I recall - never had that
luxury here, just recall hearing it discussed on this list).

Tests I've run show that Legacy is a single-instance program, so the answer to
