Documentation for MENUGEN V2.6
This pack should include the files MENUGEN.DOC, OPTION.COM, and
MENUGEN.DOC.
After Loading and Running MENUGEN in BASIC, you are asked for a
filename. Don't include an extension, one is given. Since the
program outputs to a DOS batch file, the extension .BAT is given.
Next you are asked for the residing drive name. This will be where
the Menu File (.BAT) is put. Only A:, B:, and C: are acceptable.
If you need the Menu File in another subdirectory, just copy it over
along with OPTION.COM. OPTION.COM must be on the same disk, in the
same directory with your Menu File.
You are then asked for the number of choices your menu will contain.
I recommend 7 or less. This allows your menu to have a title and be
double spaced which is more appealing to the eye. You may have up
to 11 choices, double spaced, without a title.
You are then prompted for the Menu Choices. Key in the choices as
you want them to appear in your menu. If you use any punctuation
such as commas, put your choice in quotes. By the way, don't put a
title in quotes. It messes up the alignment. Take note of your
choices and the order in which you keyed them. The next step is
to key in the command you use to load the program.
If the command or program is in another subdirectory, then key the
full pathname. EX: \sub1\sub2\prgname. If path names are assigned,
use quotes around them for clarity.
One last thing, you don't have to include EXIT as one of your Menu
Choices, it's already given as the last Menu Option. Well, hope
you can use it. I know it save me the pain in the %$@ of using
my `Alt' key all the time! If you find bugs, fix them! Or, you
can let me know at:

P.S. This isn't a plug for a "contribution". The program is too
simple to charge for!
