- The MENUS.BBS file is built like this:
-
- *Submenu Name,accesslevel,command(s)
- Entry in Submenu,accesslevel,command(s)
-
- *Next Submenu,accesslevel,command(s)
- ...
-
- There are two special entires:
- ------------------------------
-
- !Back to main-menu,command(s)
-
- This just gives the text-for the command to go back to the main-menu from
- a submenu. Notice, there is no access-level, because everybody should
- be able to do this!
-
- ?Logoff,command(s)
-
- This is the text which is added to the main-menu to be able to log off!
- There is no access-level for this option too!
-
- Commands in MENUS-BBS:
- ----------------------
-
- A command is either a number which defines an internal function or a
- command char followed by it's parameter.
- A list of the internal function-numbers is in the example MENUS.BBS.
- The command chars up to now:
-
- %FILENAME Will display any (ANSI) file to the screen
- $FILENAME Will display a text-file to the screen, splitted in pages!
- ÝFILENAME.SCR Will execute a BBS script
- >PATHNAME Will set a path, starting from the main-path!
-
- Multiple commands may be separatated by | Do not use any space-chars!
-
- 1|101|201
-
- This command sequence will first check new personal-mail, then look
- for new public-messages and finally see, if there are any new files...
-
- BIG EXTRA:
- ----------
-
- Some commands can also be inserted in an ANSI-file!
- They will be execeuted when displaying the file!!
-
- Just write %&date in any ansi file, and it will be replaced by the actual
- date! Also other system-vars will work...
-
- If you write %&%FILENAME in any ansi-file, this will be replaced by the
- content of this (text)file! Very useful for including changing information
- like small news, stock-report...
