UTIL JUL91 DOS MENU SHELL HELP SECURITY NETWORK MOUSE LOG
FILES: hdm431.sdn
Updated Release
HARD DISK MENU IV
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.

Network support, Usage logging, Timed execution, Multi-level
