Master Menu

Master Menu is a simple menu program to simplify the task
of going in and out of programs that have more than one line
of commands. In most cases to execute a program you must
change to the directory the program is in, execute the program,
and change back to the root directory. This menu program lets
you do that and much more with the press of a key, and bring
you back when you are finished. It also has a built in screen
blanker. Plus nothing from Master Menu is memory resident. It
is a program that is started with a batch file and wrights a
batch file called MenuTemp.bat, created from your Menu.dat file.
Creating your Menu.dat File
The commands are simple. To build a menu file you follow these
simple steps. Create a File called Menu.Dat or edit the
existing Menu.Dat file.
Place a % sign at the beginning of a menu page. This tells
Master Menu that you want a new page. You can have up to 10
pages of menus.
Place an * in front of a title you want to show up in the menu.
This tells Master Menu that this is a menu choice you want to
show up in the menu for you to select. You can have 9 menu
choices per page. If you have more you can't press a number key
to execute them, but you can arrow down to them and press enter.
Place a + in fromt of any valid dos command you want executed.
this line will be written out to a batch file when you make a
selection. You can execute up to 50 cammands for each choice.
Place an ! in front of any dos batch file you would like to
execute and Master Menu will call this batch file as if it were
a dos command and return.
Master Menu can be configured with the F2 key. Press F2 to
change the colors of the screen and to change the time delay
of the screen blanker.
