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.
