This function controls a "Figures" menu that will appear automatically on normal graph figures (i.e., non-GUIs).
Type "figmenu on" or "figmenu off" to turn it on and off. The menu can be added to existing figures with "figmenu add".
From the menu you can switch to any other figure, or maximize or close figures. It is especially useful when figures have been maximized and cover the other figures.
