Menu file edit
This command is used to create and maintain user-defined
menus, which you access with the F2 key (or User menu
command in the Files menu):
+---- User Menu ----+
| A Command 1 |
| F1 Command 2 |
| Command 3 |
| F10 Another menu |
+-------------------+
.
+--- Hot-key
User-defined menus are like batch files, but you can give
each "batch file" a long name.
The following file was used to create the menu above:
+Edit: C:\progs\vc\vc.mnu +
|'Comment line |
|a: Command 1 |
| DOS command |
| another DOS command |
|f1: Command 2 |
| @ a command |
|Command 3 |
| ... |
|f10: Another menu |
| C:\main.mnu |
| ... |
+-----------------------------------------+
.
+--- First column in the Editor.
If you wish use submenu type its full name with the
extension '.mnu'.
Symbol ' must be first in comment line.
You can type symbol @ before any DOS command to cancel
output of the prompt and the command line.
Here are all the ! arguments that you can use in commands:
Argument What Example
-------- ---------------------------- ------------
!.! File name with the extension filename.ext
! File name, without extension filename
!: The current drive letter A:
!\ The current page \PATH
!! Insert the `!' character !
!@ Create list of selected files C:\VC\vc.lst
The TEMP= environment variable sets the path where the file
VC.LST will be created. If the TEMP= variable was not set,
the file VC.LST is created in the same directory as the
Commander was started.
Menu titles start with a hot key (optional) followed by the
title you want to see in the pop-up menu. The DOS commands
are indented.
Notes:
. There are two types of user menus: Main and Local.
The main user menu is stored in the same directory as
the Commander (or the directory given by the VC
environment variable). The local user menu is a user
menu in the current directory. This allows you to
have a number of user-defined menus, however most
people just use the main menu.
. If you use F1 in a user menu, it will run that menu
item rather than bring up the on-line help.
