M E N U V E R S I O N 1 . 0
Purpose: This command reads a menu or healp screen from an ASCII file and
displays it directly to the memory map of the selected display
screen. Any screen attribute can be selected for any part of the
text.
Format: MENU C [d:][path]fname[.ext] (Color screen)
or
MENU M [d:][path]fname[.ext] (Monochrome screen)
Remarks: The attributes are selected by \HH within the text of the file,
where HH is the 2 digit hex value of the desired attribute for
the text which follows. E.g. for the monochrome screen, \70 gives
reverse video, \0F gives bright video, \80 gives flashing text and
\07 returns you to normal video.
Short lines (less than 80 characters) are padded on the left with
blank spaces using the regular (\07) video attribute.
Only the first 2500 bytes of the named input file will be
processed by MENU.
MENU is ideal for fast help screens for DOS or other programs.
Tab (09H) are NOT expanded in this version.
