- 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!
