The menu system we use uses a simple system of text files created by a word processor and BAT (Batch) files. It has an advantage over some "shell" menu systems in that it never leaves the operating system. This contributes to speed and flexibility. Speed because a menu program is not loaded into the computer's CPU and flexibility because you can use any normal DOS command even if a menu is on the screen. If you do not understand what a Batch file is please read the few pages on them in your operating system manual (you don't need to do it right now). When this menu system is copied to your hard disk we create a directory on your root directory named \CBATS. We then copy the text files and BAT files to this directory. You may run this "README" sequence several times without loading the bat system. If you run the "LOAD" portion more than once, no harm is done, the computer merely bypasses the creation of the directories and overwrites existing files with the same names. If you would like to have the menu system and program disks installed now type LOAD , otherwise type FINAL to continue reading instructions.
