                                                            Design SHELL  allows up to 30  menus or applications on eachpage.  You are  allowed to have  Sub Menus  and Applicationsmixed on any page. Menus can be four levels deep.                                                                       With this configuration, you can have up to 810,000 titles.                                                             Sub Menus are  titled as "Menu" and  Applications are titledas "File".                                                                                                              If a title is  password  protected,  a red bar  will  appearbelow the Hotkey prompt.                                                                                                NOTE !  All references to  "Click"  means to click your left        mouse button on the option.

Directory:  Enter the Directory that this application is    ~~~~~~~~~~  located  in.      Press  PgDn  to  list  all                Directories in a pick list menu.                                                                              Command:  Enter any DOS or Batch  file command  or the      ~~~~~~~~  filename  that  executes  the  application.

You  may  enter any  number of  commands you                like as  long as  you separate each  command                with  a carat  character  (^).  Each command                will be executed separately.   Press PgDn to                list all files in a pick list menu.                                                                                     Always  include the  file  extensions (.COM,                .EXE,.BAT) when entering filenames.                                                                                     You may  also  include a  plus character (+)                immediately following any command. Including                a plus  character will instruct Design SHELL                to ask the user for a command line switch or                parameter  at  run  time.    Any  number  of                commands may include a plus character.                                                                                  You  may also  include  the word "DROP" as a                command  on  this  line.   This DROP command                will instruct  Design SHELL  to drop to DOS.                                                                   Prompt:  Any  text entered  here will be displayed to       ~~~~~~~  the user at runtime.                                                                                            Pause:  If  you  want Design SHELL to pause and wait        ~~~~~~  for a  keypress  after displaying  the above                prompt, answer this with a "Y".                                                                                       NOTE !  Read the Extended Pause information at                      the end if this help  screen for  more                      information on the use of this command                      with sub menu selections.                                                                              Password:  Enter a password here, only if you want this     ~~~~~~~~~  menu or application password protected.                                                                                 CAUTION !                                                                                                               Even   blank   characters  can  be  used  as                password  characters so  if you do  not want                password protection, make sure no characters                or blank spaces are present here.                                                                               SHELL:  Answering  this  with  a  "N"  will instruct        ~~~~~~  Design SHELL  to totally  drop out of system                memory during executing  an application (the                preferred method).                                                                                                      Answering  with  a "Y" will  instruct Design                SHELL to execute this  application through a                shell to  DOS.   With this  method,   Design                SHELL will  use about  40kb of system memory                during execution of an application.                                                                                     NOTE !   The  SHELL   method   is   slightly                faster. Also if you are running Design SHELL                through  another GUI or menu you may need to                use this SHELL  method to  make sure  Design                SHELL returns after executing a command.                                                                          MENU: Answering  this option with a "Y" will cause          ~~~~~ this  title to  become a sub menu title. You                are  allowed to  have sub menus three levels                deep.   If you use this title as a sub menu,                you  need not  enter any text or information                at the  Drive, Directory, Command, or Prompt                fields.   The HotKey will be the only active                field.                                                                                                                  Answering  with a  "N"  will instruct Design                SHELL to treat this title  as an application                entry.                                                                                                            ICON: Enter the complete DOS Path and  filename of                the Icon you want displayed with this title.                Press PgDn to list all Icons to  a pick list                screen.   Icon files may  be located  on any                drive or directory on your system.                                                                          Copy and Paste: At the upper  left hand  corner of  this                    data entry screen you will see two icons                    representing   Copy  and  Paste.  If you                    select   the  Copy  icon,   all  of  the                    information  from  this   entry  will be                    copied to a paste buffer in memory.  You                    may then Paste this information to a new                    or  existing  entry,   by  selecting the                    Paste  icon while  at the new data entry                    screen.
