Normally  a  menu  function would be activated when  a  user
   presses  the  key  that you have linked  to  that  function.
   However,  it is possible to cause a function to be  executed
   automatically  as soon as a menu is displayed by setting the
   entry to "auto execute". As  soon as that  particular  menu
   line    is     displayed  the     function    is    executed
   automatically,  without the need for the user to select  the
   option.  This  is a very powerful feature when used with the
   type  40 menu function,  which displays an  ASCII/ANSI  text
   file  while  checking for menu hot-keys.  By setting up  the
   first line of a menu as a type 40 with automatic  execution,
   as  soon  as the menu is called your text file is  displayed
   instead of the normal menu lines.  This allows you to design
   very  elaborate graphical menu displays that  contain  extra
   information  about  the user by inserting the  special  text
   file control codes.  What happens if a user "passes through"
   a  menu by using a stacked menu command?  In some cases  you
   may  want the automatic command to execute,  for example  to
   redirect  the user to another menu by automatic execution of
   a type 1 or 2. On the other hand, if the command is only for
   cosmetic  purposes (maybe a text file to display  some  user
   statistics)  it  would  be better to skip  the  command  and
   continue   straight to the next  menu. The rule is  that the
   menu command will only be executed if  it is the first entry
   in  the menu  AND  it  is  not  a  'display  textfile'  type
   function.
