The previous screen display will be referred to as Screen 1. At the
completion of any function, the program will return to Screen 1. On
occasion, when returning to Screen 1, the program will display a flashing
message "Please Wait" on the screen for 2-5 seconds. This will only occur
if several changes have been made, and is caused by some "housekeeping" the
program must do. The remainder of this section will concern itself with the
six options displayed on Screen 1. First is the Add option which will be
used to add a selection for Menu File Maintenance itself.
ADDING A NEW MENU SELECTION
To add a selection to the end of a menu, simply press the "A" key at Screen
1. The following screen will be displayed with the menu title at the top:
Add new selection Add new selection
Enter Selection description for menu display : Enter Selection description for menu display :
The line (up to 33 characters) which will be displayed on the menu for this
selection will be entered here. For our example to add a selection for
Menu File Maintenance, enter the following:
Menu File Maintenance

Followed by the Enter key. The following prompt will be displayed:
Enter Directory for new selection Enter Directory for new selection
(Press <Enter> alone for root Directory) (Press <Enter> alone for root Directory)
Directory name = : Directory name = :
The Directory pathname for the this selection will be entered here. All
menu selections contain a "CD" command prior to any other command lines.
If it is necessary to change the directory again within the selection, "CD"
commands may be entered on command lines. For our example, just press the
Enter key, as the Menu File Maintenance program must always be run from the
root Directory. The following prompt will be displayed:
Press <Enter> alone at command entry to end selection. Press <Enter> alone at command entry to end selection.
Enter command line 1 : Enter command line 1 :
The batch commands to perform the desired function for this menu selection
may now be entered one per line followed by the Enter key. After each line
is entered, a new "Enter command line x :" prompt will be displayed where Enter command line x :
"x" is the number of the next command line. After all necessary lines have
been entered, press the Enter key again and the program will return to
Screen 1 with the new menu selection added to the menu.
For our example, enter the following for command line 1:
TSNENUFM
followed by the Enter key. This entry is incorrect, but we will correct it
below in the following section. Press the Enter key again at the prompt
for command line 2 and the program will return to Screen 1. This completes
the Add function.
CHANGING A MENU SELECTION
To change an existing menu selection (including one just added), from
Screen 1 press the "C" key. The following prompts will be displayed at the
bottom of the screen:
(Enter 0 to abort change function, enter 98 to change menu Title) (Enter 0 to abort change function, enter 98 to change menu Title)
Enter selection no. to change : Enter selection no. to change :
To change an existing menu selection, enter the number listed on the menu
for that selection followed by the enter key. To change the menu title at
the top of the menu, enter 98 followed by the Enter key, then enter the new
title followed by the Enter key, and the program will return to Screen 1
with the new title. If you pressed the "C" key by mistake, enter 0 (zero)
followed by the enter key and the program will return to Screen 1. For our
example, enter the number of the Menu File Maintenance selection and press
the Enter key. The following screen will appear, which will be referred to
as Screen 2:
