HDM 4.61 Hard Disk Menu and Security System Registration $35-50
SDN_UTIL SEP93 DOS MENU SHELL HELP SECURITY NETWORK MOUSE LOG <ASP>
FILES: HDM461.SDN
Author: Jim Hass (MicroFox Company) [ASAD] <ASP> {STAR}
This program is a DOS shell that hides the underlying operating
system from the uninitiated user, yet does not get in the way of
the expert user. The basic system consists of up to one thousand
menu files with twenty-six menu pages each. Each page has ten
entries for a total of 260,000 entries to choose from. You can
start a menu entry by pointing to it with the cursor or the mouse
and then press the <Enter> key or left mouse button, or you can
simply press the number key associated with that entry. Each
entry can start a program, run a batch file, or execute any DOS
command. An entry can also have multiple steps which can include
any or all of the possibilities above plus special HDM functions
and macros. You can change menu pages by using the <PgUp> and
<PgDn> keys or by pressing the <A> through <Z> keys to go
directly to a page that has menu entries in it. Each page and
each entry has a user definable description. You can go to
another menu file by using the menu action function {MENU ###}.
The menu files are numbered from zero to 999.
The <F10> key displays a horizontal menu at the top of the
screen. The choices from the menu include: "Menu", "Page",
"Security", "Local", "Global", or "Exit". Help can be accessed at
any time and will present you with another menu and screens that
explain how to use the Hard Disk Menu System. "Menu" allows you
to add, change, delete, move, or copy the menu entry descriptions
and their associated menu action. "Page" lets you change the name
of a Page Index entry, import pages, switch pages, or delete
pages. "Security" allows you to set up User ID's, security
levels, and passwords. "Local" lets you set variables in the
current menu file and "Global" lets you set variables that affect
all menu files. "Exit" leaves HDM and returns you to the DOS
prompt or opens a DOS window where you can run any DOS command,
program, or batch file. Other commands in the Top Menu's
pull-down menus allow you to change colors and window borders,
set up macros, add menu titles, set mouse sensitivity, set
communications parameters, set time for automatic blanking of the
menu screen, and set up hands-off timed execution of any menu
entry any time of the day, week, or month.
