- DISCLAIMER
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- HITMENU has proven to be stable in everyday use. The author is not
- responsible for any loss of data, damages to software or hardware that may
- result directly or indirectly from the use of this program. The author
- reserves the right to make changes to the software or documentation without

-
-
-
- WHAT IS THIS THING?
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- HITMENU is only a very small "software manager" that allows to launch our
- favourite tools via a simple menu (just click the right mouse button on the
- program bar).
-
-
-
- WHY HITMENU?
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Well, there are many good programs much better of my (even with an excellent
- "TASK BAR") but..., for example, using "StartMenu" when one move the mouse
- pointer outside of a menu, all the menus close! Why? Is necessaty to toggle
- the option of the program (like MCP) that activates the window under the
- mouse pointer... but I can't live without this option :-), so John, please
- fix it! Using "ScreenTab", the cool task bar appears when the mouse pointer
- is at the bottom of every screen (but I think was better that appears only
- when one is on the Workbench screen), so isn't very nice see suddenly the
- task bar while one uses a paint program or watchs an animation. So, even in
- this case, Michael please insert this option. In every case, I suggest to
- use "HITMENU" with "MagicMenu" by Martin Korndörfer and Olaf `Olsen' Barthel.

-
- HOW CHANGE HITMENU PREFERENCES
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- HITMENU at the start loads the file "HITMENU.prefs" (that must be in the
- "Env-Archive" directory or "s" directory or in the directory where is placed
- HITMENU). The structure of this file is very simple and an example allows to
- understand easily how it should be made.
-
- MENUTITLE:Tools (the name of a menu)
- MENUITEM:Music (the name of a item menu)
- SUBITEM:ProTracker (the name of the program to launch)
- CMD:wbrun sys:tools/music/protracker/protracker (the "path" of the
- program to launch, note, if the program has the icon it should be
- launched via the "wbrun" command)
- SUBITEM:HitShow
- CMD:sys:c/HitSHow (has the program the icon? No? So, "wbrun" is not
- necessary)
- MENUITEM:Paint (another menu...)
- SUBITEM:PersonalPaint
- CMD:"sys/tools/paint/personal paint/ppaint"
- MENUTITLE:Other
- MENUITEM:AmigaShell
- CMD:sys:c/NewShellScript (use SUBITEM is not necessary if you don't need
- it)
- END (end of the "HITMENU.prefs")
-
-
- It isn't permitted instead a line how this:
-
- MENUTITLE:Paint
- CMD:sys/tools/paint/ppaint/ppaint (in fact, after a "MENUTITLE", you need
- insert a "MENUITEM", sorry...)
-
-
