Eliminate the menu bar in PI System Management Tools

The menu bar in PI System Management Tools has almost nothing in it. It would be cleaner if it were eliminated. File: Add Server can be moved to a button in the title bar of the Servers pane. Save Session Log can be moved to a floppy disk icon in...
