MENUBANK MENU GENERATION SYSTEM
FROM
KEDWELL SOFTWARE Pty Ltd
P.O. Box 122, Brisbane Markets, Queensland 4106
Phone 379-4551 Fax 379-9422
IF YOU WANT TO CREATE A SIMPLE MENU AND DO NOT WANT TO READ THE MANUAL
YOU SHOULD:-
1) Start the menu definition program by typing MBGEN and pressing
ENTER
2) Pressing ENTER to accept 'Fast & Easy Menu'
3) Define your menu. If you are in doubt, pressing F1 for the first
time will give you some help about what you are about to do,
pressing F1 for the second time in succession will show you the
manual. Pressing F1 for the third time in succession will give
you some help on how the manual operates. Press Esc(ape) once to
remove the effect of each F1 key.
When you are finished, Press F10 to save your menu.
4) Press Q to terminate the menu definition program.
5) Type STARTMB MENU to run your new menu. You may want to
include this statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that your
machine will go directly to the menu when you turn it on (see the
DOS manual "EDLIN" for instructions).

available.

accessing the on-line manual facility.
Passwords
---------
The master password provided with the package is MASTER, and the operator
to enter to access this password is SYSOP. We suggest that you change the
master password at your earliest convenience making sure to remember what
you change it to. The master password is actually stored, in hashed form,
within MBRUN.EXE. THERE IS NO WAY OF FINDING OUT WHAT IT IS IF YOU FORGET IT.
Any other passwords are stored, in hashed form, in the file MB.PWD

Note
----
It has always been the intention of Kedwell Software to provide its
products with the greatest possible power at the least possible cost, as
such, no printed manual is included within the product. You can access and
print anything you want (ranging from a single page through to a whole
chapter or even the whole manual) from the on-line manual directly to your
own printer. If sufficient requests are received we will re-evaluate the
necessity for a printed manual but be sure that the price will have to
rise.
