Check the help file for SET MARK OF...BAR. When the user clicks the menu item, issue the command to do whatever you're trying to accomplish. I'd use a global system variable and in the code check it's value. The code to do this might look something like:

gOwhatever.IsMarked = NOT gOwhatever.IsMarked.
IF gOwhatever.IsMarked
* Do what's necessary for .T.
ELSE
* Do what's necessary for .F.
ENDIF
