// $Id$
//
// Root macro that opens a mini GUI for running aliroot with Geant4.
//      
//  To run aliroot with Geant4 using the g4menu.C:
//  aliroot
//  root [0] .x g4menu.C
//  --> Select "Init" and then "Run" button
//	    
// The the bar enables to start Geant4 interactive session:
//  --> Select "Geant4UI" button and use Geant4 interactive commands;
//      In case TGeant4 has not yet been created you need first
//      select "Geant4" button before selecting  "Geant4UI". 	    
// To go back to Root UI, type exit.
