[About The Guide]
Adding Another Menu:
Let's add another menu to our database and let's create two menu items
to go with our new menu. To do this we need to tell the menu link
control file the name of the new menu. Once again we will use the
!menu: command.
Let's call our new menu Alphabetical Listing of all CD's. Within this
Alphabetical Listing of all CD's menu we will create two menu items.
The first called Classics and second called Live Rock.
Let's add three lines at the end of the link file, so that it reads:
!name: Compact Disc Collection
!credits:
Compact Disc Collection
Copyright (c) 1990
Your Name
All Rights Reserved.
!menu: Favorite CD's
Classics classics.eho
Live Rock live_rk.eho
!menu: Alphabetical Listing of all CD's
Classics class_all.eho
Rock Rock_all.eho
Now you have a Hypertext Database with two menus, each with two menu
items.
