Carl,
The term action bar appears probably first in Signature. In Sig. tech.
ref. manual, page 57, there is an explanation:
df sm=0 Causes the action bar to disappear after you make a choice from
a pull-down menu.
df sm=1 Causes the action bar to remain at all times unless you press F5
to access the command line.
From this, I infer that action bar is the menu bar, and different from
the command line.
I don't know what the "action bar" is, either; (I think it means
"command line").
Best regards,
