Hi,

You'll have set the menu_result to quit so that the menu goes away when 
the menuitem is selected. Your client will receive a message that the 
item was selected and you can respond to that with a command to show your 
screen. This screen can already exist, and have priority "hidden". Now 
that you want it to be visible, raise the priority of the screen to 
"foreground" or "input" (depending on what you want to do with it). This 
assures it also works together with other clients. When you want the 
screen to disappear set it to "hidden" again. Other screens of you app 
should just have the default "info" priority, or maybe "alert" at times 
that they need to tell you something important (e.g. a disk monitor app 
sees that you are almost out of disk space!).

Success,
Joris
