- INTRODUCTION TO BATCH MENUING via CHOOSE
-
- CHOOSE provides an easy to use, yet powerful, means of menu controlled
- branching within the AUTOEXEC or other BATCH stream.
-
- A system administrator can use CHOOSE to organize a complex DOS environment
- so that users of the system may run programs under the proper directories by
- simply making menu selections -- that is, without an understanding, or the
- keying, of long input strings, e.g., CD\DOCS\BUSINESS\SALES ...
-
- This text is being displayed as a result of a "TYPE MM_INT.SDX" command that
- has been executed from the batch file MENU.BAT as a result of making the
- first selection on the main menu.
-
- A significant difference between this demonstration batch file and a batch
- file that you might create to streamline and organize actual productive work
- is that this batch file executes commands like "TYPE" and "DIR" where your's
- might change drives and directories, copy files, download fonts, and run
- programs such as Windows, WordPerfect and 1-2-3.
