- New features in MCMenu V 1.520

- Return to old menu selection option. Allows the menu to
- re-enter at the old location { like Novells }
-
- Application Logging option. This logs the item and user
- name when programs are launched.

- Menu Reload option. This allows the last command to be the
- end of the batch file, rather than re-running the menu.
- This improves use of the LOGOUT command and chaining
- to other menus.
