Menu File Edit                                 
 This command is used to create and maintain user-defined
 menus, which you access with the F2 key (or User menu command
 in the Files menu):

                     +--- User Menu ---+
                     | A    Command 1  |
                     | F    Command 2  |
                     |      Command 3  |
                     +-----------------+
                       .
                       +--- Hot-key

 User-defined menus can be created either using the Commander
 input screens or with a text editor.

 Creating Menus with Commander
 Press F2 to display the User Menu (Main) dialog box, or
 select Menu file edit from the Commands menu. Press F6
 and choose to insert a Menu or Command.

 Inserting Commands
 Type a Hot key, a Label and the command itself.
 When user menus are invoked with F2, you can use your Hot Key
 to quickly invoke your command.

 Inserting Menus
 Menus are entered exactly the same way as Commands.
 Menus are displayed as follows:

  +--- User Menu (Main) ---+
  | M My Menu            . |
  +------------------------+

 Menus can contain multiple commands. For example, if you have
 two wordprocessors you can create a Wordprocessor menu which
 contains the commands to run both.

 To enter commands into a menu press Enter on the menu title.
 The sub-menu will then be displayed. You can insert commands
 into the sub-menu in the standard way described above.

 Creating Menus with an Editor 
 User-defined menus are like batch files, but you can give
 each "batch file" a long name.

 The following file was used to create the menu above:

          +Edit: C:\progs\nc\nc.mnu                 +
          |a:  Command 1                            |
          |       DOS command                       |
          |       another DOS command               |
          |f:  Command 2                            |
          |       a command                         |
          |Command 3                                |
          |       ...                               |
          +-----------------------------------------+
           .
           +--- First column in the Editor.

 Menu titles start with a hot key (optional) followed by the
 title you want in the pop-up menu.  The DOS commands are
 indented.

   Notes:
    . There are two types of user menus: Main and Local.
      The main user menu is stored in the Commander directory
      (or the directory given by the NC environment variable ).
      The local user menu is a user menu in the current directory.
