This program is meant to avoid the problems to find and start your favorite program some where out on your hard disk or on your disk. Menu reads the ASCII file in SYS:s/ named MENU-SETUP or the file you enter in the command line to know that you like to have in the menus. How to USE On one sheet there are ten menu items. Plus one menu head. You choose between them by pressing one of the keys F1 to F10 or choose on one of them with the mouse. To get to the main menu press ESC or hit the right mouse button. Menu will also quit if you choose the quit gadget in upper left corner. If you choose the back gadget in upper right corner menu will do ScreentoBack and place its screen behind the other screens. After Menu has been started it always shows menu sheet Zero (0), therefor you must have your main menu on sheet zero. One sheet consist of one menu head and ten selectable menu items. The menu head is a 60 characters line (topaz 9 font) and the menuitems are 80 characters lines (topaz 8 font). Each line can be printed in one of sixteen colors that the user defines in MENU-SETUP. The shades that the text are printed on are defined with the colors 13,14,15. The ASCII file In each menu entry there are several possible things to do: MENU Jump to a new menu sheet.
