Calling User-menu from within 4GL application?

My users want to be able to access the User-menu function from within a 4GL application menu. When the application menu shows REPORTS: Labels Options Exit They want to add: REPORTS: Labels Options User-menu Exit Or something like that. When User-menu is selected it would execute the same function as though executed with the following: isql -s dbase -u reports Is this getting too far out or what? I can easily enough create a sub menu in the 4GL application to execute all the selections in the User-menu report (about 16 items) but if there's a way to hook the SQL: User-menu Run function (complete with menu selection for 'reports', just like with the isql statement) I'd rather do that. If this is documented, can someone point me to it? I have trouble finding weird stuff like this in any manual and I've never been formally trained on Informix yet (all seat of the pants so far).
