INSTALLATION
Installation is easy . . . Just type INSTALL, and follow the
instructions in each section.
After installation is complete, at the DOS prompt type MENU [enter].
If you have properly installed MASTER MENU you should see main menu
screen.
ASSIGNING PASSWORDS
Now that your menu is installed, each time you turn on your computer,
you should see the menu. It is important to read this section before
you begin assigning passwords. The efficiency of your system can be
increased by arranging your passwords with the suggestions contained in
this section.
To assign passwords press the F1 function key. You will now have the
EDIT PASSWORDS screen.
The Edit Password screen is where we assign passwords and enter the
operator's name. There can be up to 64 separate passwords (designated
00-63) for operators. On the screen you will see lines 00 through 15.
NOTE: The Key Operator must be entered on the 00 line. The operator
listed on the 00 line will be the only person who will have
access to this screen.
A) ADD PASSWORD - To add a new password. Use your keyboard arrow keys
to highlight the column you wish to add. When you have selected the
column, press the 'A' key for Add. Type the password in the box
provided.
Type the name of the operator in the next box. The computer will
display any menu items entered onto MASTER MENU. Use the cursor key
and [enter] to highlight the items you wish this person to have access
to.
E) EDIT PASSWORD - To edit an existing password move the cursor to the
operator you wish to edit and press the 'E' key.
D) DELETE PASSWORD - To delete an existing password move the cursor to
the operator you wish to delete and press the 'D' key. This function
will remove all reference to this password number from the menu items.
P) EDIT PASSWORD (Y/N) - Press P to toggle this function from Yes to
No. If Yes is selected the operator is able to edit their own password.
When you are finished entering or editing passwords, press [ESC]. This
will bring you back to the menu.

ADDING SOFTWARE
Once you have successfully installed MASTER MENU on the hard drive and
have assigned passwords, then you are ready to install your application
software into the menu. To proceed, you must be at the MASTER MENU
opening menu. If you are not at the opening menu, please enter your
Key Operator password.
Now press the F2 function key to bring up the "EDIT MENU" screen.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the item you wish to select. To edit
or add a menu item press 'E'.
NOTE: The efficiency of MASTER MENU is enhanced by placing your most
commonly used application software programs in the first part of
the listing.
After you have pressed 'E' you will be asked to provide a MENU LETTER.
Available menu letters are shown in the center of the screen. Press
the letter you wish to use, then press [enter].
At the cursor type the description of your software and press [enter].
The cursor will then go inside the box labelled DOS COMMANDS.
NOTE: In this box you have basic editing keys. (Ins),(Del),(Cursor
keys),(PgUp),(PgDn), (Ctrl I = Insert line),(Ctrl D = Delete)
NOTE: If you would like help creating DOS commands use the F1 function
key.
When you are entering software, MASTER MENU needs to know three things:
1) The location of the software (sub-directory and/or drive).
2) The command (file name) to start the software.
3) Where the computer should return to when the software application is
finished.
When you are done entering the commands, press the [ESC] key.
OPERATOR ACCESS - This screen lists the operators that you entered into
MASTER MENU in the last section. A blinking arrow is at the top of the
screen. Use the arrow keys to move the arrow cursor. Use the space
bar to highlight the operators authorized to access the software
program you are entering. If all operators are allowed access to this
software, highlight the box entitled "ALL" and press [ESC].

SPECIAL MASTER MENU COMMANDS
CM
CHANGE MENU (SUB-MENUS) - It is possible to have unlimited software
storage through the use of sub-menus (menus within menus). We create
sub-menus just like any other entry in MASTER MENU. For example to
change to a sub-menu called Accounting we gave it a file name ACCT and
put it on the first line of the DOS COMMANDS box.
Example in the DOS COMMANDS box enter:
CM ACCT
LOG OFF
There are occasions when you should include "LOG OFF" as a step in the
installation of another software program. A good example of this is the
"PARK" program. T
