- !TCPIP (vterm) Menu file format
- ===============================
-
- The file format for menu definitions was very lazily based upon that
- used by RISC_OSLib for specifying menus and sort of grew from there.
-
- While reading this, it is worth looking at one or more of the menu file
- in !TCPIPUser.Menus.
-
- The first line in the menu file is a list of the actual menu items as
- seen on a menu in the following format:
-
- <menu entry> [<sep> <menu entry> ...]
-
- <sep> is an item separatr as follows:
-
- "," is a normal separator.
- "|" shows a line between the entries.
-
- Any <menu entry> may be prefixed with "~" to cause it to be greyed
- out, and so unselectable.
-
-
- Subsequent lines in the menu file contain the actual macro, one line for
- each menu entry in the following format:
-
- ['@'<submenu file>] [<command> [ '|' <command> ...] ]
-
- For example:
-
- @Mail
- Specifies a submenu only.
-
- @Time time read
- Specifies a submenu 'time' with action command 'time read'.
-
- filer run <Newsbase$Dir>.!Run|filer run <TTFN$Dir>.!Run
- Note the separator ---------^
- This loads Newsbase and !TTFN
