What were you trying to do?
        Edit Axes Properties after starting with "matlab -tty"

What's wrong:
	It works when started with "matlab", but spits out
        an error for "matlab -tty":

>> ??? Error while evaluating uimenu Callback.
 
 
??? Error using ==> propedit
The Property Editor is not supported on this platform.
 
Error in ==> /mit/matlab_v6.5.1/distrib/toolbox/matlab/graph2d/domymenu.m (LDoMenubar)
On line 342  ==>     propedit(h);
 
Error in ==> /mit/matlab_v6.5.1/distrib/toolbox/matlab/graph2d/domymenu.m
On line 8  ==>    LDoMenubar(gcbf, parameter);

        for "matlab -tty".

        To recreate the bug:

% matlab -tty
 
>> figure

Goto the figure window, Edit Menu, "Axis Properties".

        However, there is no error when the same thing is done for
matlab started without the "-tty" flag.


What should have happened:
        "matlab" and "matlab -tty" should behave the same.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

        Based on initial startup times and cache behavior, it
seemsthat matlab and "matlab -tty" are two separate binaries or
something.  That seems silly.
