- This program is a DOS shell that hides the underlying operating
- system from the uninitiated user, yet does not get in the way of
- the expert user. The basic system consists of up to one thousand
- menu files with twenty-six menu pages each. Each page has ten
- entries for a total of 260,000 entries to choose from. You can
- start a menu entry by pointing to it with the cursor or the mouse
- and then press the <Enter> key or left mouse button, or you can
- simply press the number key associated with that entry. Each
- entry can start a program, run a batch file, or execute any DOS
- command. An entry can also have multiple steps which can include
- any or all of the possibilities above plus special HDM functions
- and macros. You can change menu pages by using the <PgUp> and
- <PgDn> keys or by pressing the <A> through <Z> keys to go
- directly to a page that has menu entries in it. Each page and
- each entry has a user definable description. You can go to
- another menu file by using the menu action function {MENU ###}.
- The menu files are numbered from zero to 999.
-
- The <F10> key displays a horizontal menu at the top of the
- screen. The choices from the menu include: "Menu", "Page",
- "Security", "Local", "Global", or "Exit". Help can be accessed at
- any time and will present you with another menu and screens that
- explain how to use the Hard Disk Menu System. "Menu" allows you
- to add, change, delete, move, or copy the menu entry descriptions
- and their associated menu action. "Page" lets you change the name
- of a Page Index entry, import pages, switch pages, or delete
- pages. "Security" allows you to set up User ID's, security
- levels, and passwords. "Local" lets you set variables in the
- current menu file and "Global" lets you set variables that affect
- all menu files. "Exit" leaves HDM and returns you to the DOS
- prompt or opens a DOS window where you can run any DOS command,
- program, or batch file. Other commands in the Top Menu's
- pull-down menus allow you to change colors and window borders,
- set up macros, add menu titles, set mouse sensitivity, set
- communications parameters, set time for automatic blanking of the
- menu screen, and set up hands-off timed execution of any menu
- entry any time of the day, week, or month.
