Dear Monks,

I have a menu bar: 
my $menu=$mw->Menubutton (
        -text=>'Information',
        -background=>'lightblue',
        -foreground=>'blue',
        -activebackground=>'cyan',
        -activeforeground=>'blue',
        -menuitems=>[ [ 'command' => "About this program",
                        "-command" => \&about,
                        "-underline" => 0],
                        [ 'command' => "User Guide",
                        "-command" => \&help,
                        "-underline" => 0 ] ])->pack(-anchor => 'ne');

[download]
and a sub:

sub help {
    #open (file.pdf);
}#help

[download]
I would like that when my user clicks on "User Guide" s/he can read that file in its original format (pdf) and keep it open while s/he is interacting with the application.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
FM
