Pop-up Windows
Pop-up windows are small panels that overlay the base panel. You display a pop-up window when you choose a selection from a pull-down menu or enter a command at the Command Prompt field. Pop-up windows may prompt you for further selections, alert you to an error, or display help or security information. More than one pop-up window can be displayed at a time, and the windows can overlap each other.
When you select 1 from the Product Options pull-down menu, the Update Personal Options pop-up window appears.

Pop-up windows and pull-down menus differ in these ways:
- A pull-down menu appears when you make an action bar selection, and a pop-up window does not.
- A pull-down menu contains only a selection list, whereas a pop-up window may contain data entry fields and messages.
