You can bypass the Ingres Menu by entering a command to start a specific tool from the operating system command line. In this case, the Ingres Menu is not displayed and you are able to access only the particular tool you specified. For details, see Command Syntax to Start Ingres Menu or Tool (see page Command Syntax to Start Ingres Menu or Tool).

If you choose Ingres from an applications menu or load it from a script file, whether you see the Ingres Menu frame depends on how the menu or script has been configured.
