First time posting appologies for any mistakes or ommisions

My name is Clayton.

I am automating the processing of goephysical survey results. Various software exists which carries out each of the required tasks. They are all DOS based. I have got to a stage where the user can select raw input file(s) and enter the required information and settings. Then the processing is carried out. Each processed file is then displayed in a full screen plot, cycling through using F1.

At this stage I need to present a menu, (preferably always on screen at top) with options like File (menu), Plan (command), Etc

This menu will take the active (displayed) file and call other applications. I need the menu to remain on top of these applications..

I have no experience with the GUI functions in autoit but can find my way once I know where to start looking. So any advice as to better ways to do things I will come up against is most appreciated.
