MENU SPECIFICATION via CHOOSE
CHOOSE menu text either originates on the CHOOSE command line, or in a
file whose name is specified on the command line.
CHOOSE *** MAIN MENU ***^Windows^WordPerfect^Backup
Note that the CHOOSE command contained title text (*** MAIN MENU ***)
terminated by a carat (^) which is followed by the text of three menu
selections separated by carats. Up to 17 menu selections may be used.
A DOS command line is limited to about 125 characters which limits the
size of the CHOOSE menu that may be presented directly from a command
line. When a CHOOSE menu exceeds the command line capacity, simply
place the menu text in a file and specify the file name on the command
line.
CHOOSE menus are displayed centered, overlaying any screen text. That
is, CHOOSE does not clear the screen before constructing a menu. When
a selection is made, CHOOSE restores the overlayed display text before
exiting to DOS. Therefore, use CLS (before CHOOSE) when you prefer a
blank menu background.
