The Edit Menu Items Screen will allow you to add, change or delete any
item that appears in the menu.
F5 = Insert a new line (all lines below the current line will rolled down
one line).
F6 = Delete the current line (the current line will be removed, and all
lines below it will me rolled up line).
PgUp = Move to the previous page.
PgDn = Move to the next page.
Esc = Return to the Main Menu without saving any changes.
F10 = Return to the Main Menu after saving the changes.
You will be asked to enter four pieces of information for each menu item.
The "Menu Title" will be the name that appears on the Main Menu. The "Drive
and Directory" will be the drive and directory that the program file is found.
The "File Name" is name of the executable file. This would be the text that
you would type if you were to start the program from the DOS prompt. The
last item is an optional Password. If an menu item has a password, you will not
be allowed to change anything about that menu item until you have correctly
entered the password. You will NOT have to enter the password when you
select the item from the Main Menu - you only enter it to change something
about the menu item.
It is not necessary to enter items on every line. You may want to group
similar applications together on the same page. For example, you might want
to have all your word processing applications on a page together, and all your
utilities on a page together. You might create a Main Menu that would look
something like this:
1. W O R D P R O C E S S I N G
2. Word Perfect
3. Word Star
4. Word
Page two might look like the following:
17. U T I L I T I E S
18. Shell
19. Where-is
20. Compare
21. Norton's Utility
Page three might be your spreadsheets:
33. S P R E A D S H E E T S
34. Excel
35. 1-2-3
36. FreeCalc
Enter the applications that you will use the most frequently on the first
page (the first 16 items), since this will save you from having to page down to
get to the desired application.
Use the Up and Down arrows to move the selection bar. Press the Enter
key once the desired item is highlighted.
You can press the F9 key from the Main Menu to exit to DOS, and leave
Menu Master running.
Press the ESC key to terminate Menu Master.
