- This is a simple english translation of mom's doc. This program is very
- much alike MyMenu with the exception that it behaves very well with (and
- requires too!) arp.library. It also allows to generate simple in-line
- scripts with IF, ELSE and similar commands.
- TO USE:
- *Copy MOM-HANDLER in L:
- *Create the file (in the directory S:) MOM-Startup with the syntax
- described below;
- *Copy MOM in C: directory and type MOM at the cli prompt (no
- workbench) or insert a line MOM >NIL: in your startup-sequence;
- *To remove MOM type MOM quit;
-
-
- THE STARTUP FILE:
- This file is very similar to DOS command lines as explained in DOS manuals:
-
- M=MENU/a, E=EXEC/k, W=WB/k, B=BACK/k, C=CONSOLE/k, K=KEY/k
-
- so that a line like:
-
- MENU "Test/AShell" WB "SYS:AShell" KEY "*e"
-
- will define a menuitem "Ashell" into the "test" menu linking it with the
- key ESC as a shortcut to start Ashell in a way similar to clicking on its
- icon.
-
- MENU "Test/Memory/Flush" BACK "C:Avail FLUSH" KEY "F"
-
- this line will instead define a menuitem "FLUSH" into the submenu "Memory" of
- menu "TEST" and launch in the background the dos command avail flush, with
- the Keyboard shortcut "F".
-
- M "Test/Snap ON" B "WaitForPort -immediate Snap.port*nIF WARN*nC:Snap -i0*nENDIF"
-
- this line is an example of a short script embedded in thecommand that
- launches the utility SNAP only after a security check.
-
- M "Test/Dir Inter" E "Dir SYS: opt i" CONSOLE "CON:0/0/640/200/Dir Interactive"
-
- Last, this line defines a menuitem"Dir Inter" in menu "test" that opens an
- interactive console window and lets you browse the SYS: directory
- interactively.
-
- You will find many more short examples in the example configuration file.
-
- PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT MOM IS *NOT* PUBLIC DOMAIN BUT YOU CAN FREELY
- REDISTIBUITE THIS ARCHIVE IN ITS INTACT FORM AND FREE OF CHARGE AS MUCH AS
- YOU WISH.
