hide panel

["Goins, James R" <JG210045 exchange DAYTONOH NCR com>]

Hi,
  I have been trying to find a command that can be run to toggle the 
gnome panel between hidden and unhidden states (I am looking for the 
same toggle behavoir as the hide/unhide buttons on the side of the 
panel, only initiated via a command instead of a mouse click).
  The reason I am looking for a command is so I can bind a keyboard 
shortcut to it so I can quickly move the panel out of my way without 
having to grab the mouse, or unhide it to check the clock/or other 
applet real quick.
  Is there any command that can be executed to toggle the hidden status 
of the panel? Or is there possibly some control panel option that I 
couldn't find that allows one to bind a keyboard shortcut to this action?

Thanks very much,
  Jim
