Change to the system directory and fire up RAMENU.EXE;  this
   is  the  utility  which allows you to create and  edit  your
   menus.  When  run  it will present you with a  directory  of
   menus  that have already been created - select one with  the
   cursor keys and press RETURN to edit, or simply press ESCAPE
   to create a new menu.

   A  large  window  is opened that displays  a  line  by  line
   summary  of the menu.  You may select a menu item to work on
   by moving the hilight bar to the item with the cursor  keys.
   The following keys are available:


   [RETURN]  - Edit the currently selected menu item.

   [INSERT]  - Insert  a new menu item immediately  before  the
               current item.

   [DELETE]  - Delete the currently selected menu item.

   [ALT-D]   - Simulate  what  the menu  would look like  to  a
               user.

   [ALT-P]   - View or modify the menu prompt,  its colour  and
               the menu highlight colours.

   [ALT-S]   - Save the current menu to disk.

   [ALT-L]   - Discard  the present menu and load another  from
               disk.


   Let's create the LOGOFF menu.  Hit RETURN on the first blank
   menu  item to bring up the EDIT MENU ITEM window.  The first
   line  of this menu will just display a message to the  user,
   so  in  the  USER DISPLAY field,  put "You  have  chosen  to
   disconnect.  You may -". Move to the ACTION field and set it
   to  DISPLAY  ONLY.  Next select a suitable  colour  for  the
   display  line  in  the COLOUR field.  Since this is  only  a
   display line,  leave SECURITY and FLAGS as they  are.  Press
   ESCAPE  to return to the menu list,  and note the entry  you
   have just created.

   Now enter the user options for the menu.  Move to the second
   menu  entry  (add one with the INSERT key if necessary)  and
   press  RETURN  to edit.  We'll give the user the  option  of
   leaving a message to the sysop, so in the USER DISPLAY field
   enter  "<L>eave a message to the sysop".  Set the ACTION  to
   POST  A NEW  MESSAGE (this is under the heading of  MESSAGE-
   BASE COMMANDS). This command requires a couple of parameters
   in the optional data field - the number of the message  area
   to  post the message in and the /T= parameter,  to force the
   message  to be addressed to the sysop.  It might  look  like
   this:

   80 /T=Andrew_Milner

   (Message area 80 is set up as a "Messages to the sysop" area
   that  contains local private messages).  Set the HOT-KEY  to
   "L"  - this is the key that will activate the  function.  We
   want  all  users to be able to leave a message,  so set  the
   security level to 1.

   The  third  line of the menu gives the user  the  option  of
   returning  to  the previous menu,  so set this to a type  3,
   with a suitable display line.

   The  actual log-off command is last.  This will be a type  9
   (Terminate  Call).  Set the hot-key to "G" and  the  display
   line to something like "<G>oodbye (Logoff)".

   The  final step is to set the highlight and prompt  options.
   Press  ALT-P  from the menu list to bring up the  EDIT  MENU
   SETTINGS  window.  Here you can tailor the menu by selecting
   the  menu  prompt  and  its  colour,  along  with  the  menu
   highlight colour.  Each menu line,  in addition to it's  own
   colour,  may  contain an overall menu highlight  colour.  To
   switch between the two colours on a menu line, simply insert
   the    character;  Note that this character isn't  actually
   displayed  to  the  user,   it  just  toggles  the  colours.

   Experiment with this feature by inserting a few  characters
   on display lines and viewing the menu with the ALT-D key.

   Finally,  save  the menu by going back to the menu list  and
   pressing  ALT-S.  Save the menu with the name  LOGOFF.  Now,
   whenever  you need a "Goodbye" option in another menu,  just
   use a gosub (type 2) function to the menu LOGOFF.

   There  is  one  hard-coded  menu  called  TOP.  RemoteAccess
   searches  for this menu when a user logs on and displays  it
   first,  so it MUST be present. The layout of the top menu is
   up to you of course;  it is recommended that you look at the
   menus of other Bulletin Boards so you can incorporate  their
   best features into your own.
