The following was posted to INFO-VAX time ago. I've tested it with DECW/MOtif 
v.1.0, OpenVMS VAX 5.5-2, and it's OK:

    Subject:      Way to get rid of DECwindow menu bars
    Comments: To: info-vax@"crvax.sri.com@uunet.UU.NET"
     
    I've often wished to get rid of the DECwindow menu bars since
    they take so much space and I seldom use them. A friend (Lincoln
    Baxter) gave me this info yesterday:
     
    You can remove the menu bar from your screen by using a command
    similar to:
    $ if f$trnlnm( "DECW$DISPLAY" ) .nes. ""
    $ then
    $   create/terminal/nowait -
            /resource=sys$login:decw_nomenures.dat -
            /window=(title="Nonmenu Decwindow",icon_name="NomenuDecw")
     
    The magic resources file needed is (more or less) the following:
    ------------ decw_nomenures.dat -----------------
    *decterm_mb*height: 1
    *decterm_mb*resizeHeight: false
    *decterm_mb*resizeWidth: false
    DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.adjustFontSizes:    off
    DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.saveLinesOffTop:    2048
    DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.scrollVertical:     off
    DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.cursorStyle:        1
    DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.shareColormapEntries:       on
    DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.autoResizeTerminal: off
    DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.condensedFont:      off
    ----------- end of decw_nomenures.dat -----------------
     
    The first 3 lines are the key to getting rid of the menu line by
    squashing it to 1 pixel. You can set other resources to get variations,
    select fonts, etc., but if you prefer to use the space the menu bar consumes
    for a couple more lines of text, this will do it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
END - END - END - END - END - END - END - END - END - END - END - 
------------------------------------------------------------------

This should help you.     
     
Bye
