If I understand your question it sounds like you want to remove
functionality from the "INQUIRE, UPDATE, ADD" menu in dclerk.  I'm
pretty sure all of that functionality is accessible through arguments.
For instance, -xa will put you right into add record mode.

It seems to me (and I'm sure I'll be corrected) that the functionality
you seek can be achieved with whatever front end you're using.  In our
case I've thrown together a menu system with Perl's Curses::UI module
which reads menus defined in xml files.  My weenies can edit these
files to get whatever functionality they want.  I'm pretty sure you
can do this with Fineline Menu Manager as well.

If any of this is wrong, please let me know and I'll go back to
lurking like a good administrator.
