- KEYBOARD INPUT PROGRAMS:
-
- SELECT1 COM - Key input, sets DOS error level: SELECT1 ABC123
- SELECT2 COM - SELECT1 with input buffer clear option.
- SELECT3 COM - SELECT1 with command line message:
- SELECT3 Your message..$ABC123
- SELECT4 COM - SELECT3 with input buffer clear option.
-
-
- You can use the SELECTn programs as a basis for building you own
- menu system. These programs set the DOS error level by looking up
- a key pressed in the list of keys you provide. A look at the
- file MENU.BAT should make this process clear. Note that you need
- to trap the errors starting with the highest level first. Note
- also that on the command line, the keys to be trapped should be
- in capital letters.
-
- The file MMENU.BAT uses SELECT3, which allows you to specify your
- own prompt. You should rename the file to MENU.BAT before you use
- it, as all options are keyed on that name.
-
- SELECT1 and 3 allow you to type ahead, 2 and 4 clear the buffer
- before accepting input. All of the programs convert lower case
- input to upper case.
-
- To create your own menu system, just follow the example of
- MENU.BAT, and complete these steps:
-
- 1. Create a subdirectory \MENU (or any name you like),
- and copy the batch files and SELECTn files to it.
-
- 2. Edit MENU.TXT to reflect the main menu screen
- and options you wish to have.
-
- 3. Edit MENU.BAT, use the desired SELECTn program,
- include the keys you illustrated on the menu
- screen.
-
- 4. Create or edit the appropriate batch files, so they
- carry out the desired commands. Be sure to end them
- with the command 'MENU' so your menu will come up
- as the batch file is completed.
-
-
- You are welcome to use these programs free of charge. You may
- also copy and distribute them, provided no money is involved. If
- you like them, a contribution of $5 would be most welcome. In
- any case, please send your comments to:
