- *** Support code for Brett Fishburne's dBASE menu article
-
- Hello!
-
- To use any of the programs at this point, you would have to be familiar with
- dBase and the programming language. If you are, then no explanation is really
- needed other than that given in the article. In case you are not, I am going
- to give you a quick analysis so that you can play with it.
-
- 1) Envoke dBase
- 2) Get to the dot prompt (RETURN then ESC)
- 3) type "SET DEFAULT TO A:" or whatever drive you have the programs in
- 4) type "DO MAINMENU" <RETURN>
- This is the menu I wanted to generate using the programs.
- 5) type "Q" or <ESC> to quit
- 6) type "USE MENUFILE"
- 7) type "DO DRAWMENU WITH 1,'Strike a LETTER key to evoke the corresponding
- operation','MAIN MENU'" <RETURN>
- This is the menu I created with the AUTO MENU GENERATOR
- 8) type "DO MAKEMENU WITH 1,'Strike a LETTER key to evoke the corresponding
- operation','MAIN MENU'" <RETURN>
- If everything works properly the computer should generate a program
- under the name TEMP.MNU. The last time I did this it worked fine,
- but it has been a little while.
- 9) to run the new menu type "DO TEMP.MNU"
- This is the menu you created!
- 10) the other features are blossoming, but they are not quite ready for
- this type of cursory description. Again, if you are familiar with
- dBase, you should be able to figure them out.
