- ToyBox II - a new graphical DOS menu system designed with

- SUGGESTED LONG DESCRIPTION
- --------------------------
-
- Finally a graphical interface designed with kids in mind.
- ToyBox II is a new graphical DOS menuing system with the powerful
- features adults need, but so simple, even young children can use
- it to start their own programs without assistance. ToyBox II
- displays large 3-D buttons with colorful, Microsoft Windows-
- compatible icons to represent your DOS and Windows programs. So
- instead of trying to remember cryptic DOS commands, you or your
- child can press a single key or click a mouse button to start any
- program. To make things easier for small hands, all mouse buttons
- have the same effect and no double-clicks are required. You can
- also set options that prevent inquisitive young power users from
- leaving ToyBox II or accessing any areas you don't want them to
- get into.
- Behind the scenes, ToyBox II's features are anything but
- childlike: multiple levels of nested menu pages that can hold
- several thousand programs; passwords for programs and pages;
- hotkeys; variable program parameters; file pick-lists for easily
- adding programs; and a built-in icon editor for designing your own
- icons. ToyBox II can run any COM, EXE, or BAT file, or any DOS
- command, and it does not remain in memory while it is running your
- programs. Superb EGA/VGA graphics.
