-> To see graphics character list, turn on graphics (Ctrl-G) and press F1.
-> Help screen files may be as long as you like, but the shorter the better.
-> Each menu (".MNU") file's first 24 lines are displayed when Nifty's in use.
Up to 50 instruction lines may then follow, each with 30 characters. Generally,
"=" means "read", and ">" means execute. Examples:
A=AARDVARK.HLP {reads AARDVARK.HLP when A is pressed}
T=TREE.MNU {reads the TREE menu file when T is pressed}
T>\COMM\PROCOMM.EXE(02) {executes TICKLEX when T is pressed if user's
user's security level is 02 or higher}
D>DIR ? {asks for a parameter before executing DIR}
=HAT.HLP {automatically reads HAT.HLP when Help system
hot key is pressed next to word, "hat"}
@2200>\DOS\BACK-UP.BAT {auto-executes BACK-UP.BAT at 10:00PM}
#LINDA(05) {Assigns a password, "LINDA", and sets its
security level to 05}
3=HELLO~BUDDY<>COM1 {when 3 is pressed, a message is sent to COM1
port if this is an ".I-O" menu. The message
is "HELLO", a 1/2 second pause, "BUDDY", and
a carriage return}
Be sure to include the full path, filename AND extension for all files. Note
that all security levels MUST be two-digit numbers. Block operations (copying,
moving lines & files) are invoked by pressing Ctrl-K. To open a new line, turn
insert on (the "Ins" key) and hit "Enter" key. To enter a control character,
press Ctrl-P first.
