There are (at least) four FV documents relevant to your question: 1) B0193WH-G I/A Series A2(tm) System FoxView(tm) Software Pick on 'I/A Series A2 System FoxView Software' on http://ips.csc.invensys.com/framepage.asp?body=/content/documents/iaseries/k 0173tqm71/index.htm 2) B0193WG-G I/A Series A2(tm) System FoxDraw(tm) Software Pick on 'FoxDraw Software' on http://ips.csc.invensys.com/framepage.asp?body=/content/documents/iaseries/k 0173tqm71/index.htm 3) B0193WL-J I/A Series A2(tm) System FoxView(tm) and FoxDraw(tm) V9.0 Release Notes Pick FoxView/FoxDraw on http://ips.csc.invensys.com/framepage.asp?body=/content/documents/iaseries/k 0200gzc/index.htm 4) Supplement to FoxView/FoxDraw 9.0 Release Notes I don't have an on-line link. I've been told it is on the FD/FV V9 CD-ROM, but I haven't actually checked. The supplement supplies Appendices G, H, I, and J of B0193WG. Appendix G explains how to play with the contextual menu. H covers Moveable Overlays. I Scratch Pad Trends and Group Displays. J FoxSelect 9.0 Quick-Reference. The supplement also includes Appendix C of B0193WH. Appendix C covers the use of Scratch Pad Trends and Group Displays from the operator's POV. In B0193WL-J you will find that you can control the assign option. The section reads, 38. FoxView allows users to assign protection values to the display bar popup menu. This the menu that is displayed when the mouse is right clicked over the display bar. These protections are assigned via the following variables: DBM_PROT protects the entire Menu DBS_PROT protects the ability to Save display bar changes DBN_PROT protects the ability to create a New display bar DBA_PROT protects the ability to re-Assign displays or commands to the display bar DBC_PROT protects the ability to assign Commands to the display bar. The DBC_PROT variable has been added to the 8.0 FoxView. This protection variable can be used to protect access to the Assign->Command menu selections. The Assign->Display menu will still be enabled. For more information on protecting display bar menu access, refer to the information in the B0193WH FoxView User Documentation, or refer to the file /usr/fox/wp/data/init.user. (CAR:1002377) Hope this helps. (I know you got most of this already, but I thought the documents might be good to know about.)

The trick is to modify the /usr/fox/wp/data/init.user file. (And I was looking in the environment files, very tricky these Foxboro folks!) excerpt follows # The following variables are for protecting the configuration of the # display bar # DBM_PROT protection level for all display bar configuration # DBS_PROT protection level for "Save"/"Save As" display bar item # DBA_PROT protection level for "Assign" display menu item # DBN_PROT protection level for "New" display bar menu item # DBL_PROT protection level for the "Load" display bar menu item #DBM_PROT= #DBS_PROT= #drj changed to test DBA_PROT=100 #drj changed to test #DBN_PROT= #DBL_PROT= ... end excerpt Sadly, a re-boot seems necessary to get these system globals to reset correctly, but it does work as advertised after the reboot. So with the proper access class set this somewhat solves the problem. However, what would be optimal would be to allow the "Assign", but dis-allow the "Assign->Command" sub-menu. Oh Well.
