        CMenu                                                User Guide
      

                              Introduction


 Welcome to the CMenu system. CMenu is an interactive menu system that
 allows you to design a menu to your specific needs. From CMenu you can
 execute other software packages you have (after you define them to the menu),
 access files, copy whole directories or individual files within a directory,
 rename or delete directories, print files, compare ASCII or TEXT files or build
 and maintain small batch files. It should be noted that when a selection is
 executed from the menu, the menu itself will be taken out of memory. Therefore
 allowing maximum memory for your application.

 CMenu was designed to be as useful as possible while still being easy to
 use. If you have any problems or see where improvements can be made, please
 send me a letter stating this.

        CMenu                                                User Guide
      

                              Getting Started

 To add your first selection to the menu, select option F4 - Menu Maintenance.
 You will then be presented with a screen to enter a selection title and up to
 2 lines of executable statements. The title line is normally used to enter the
 title of the software being selected (Lotus, Clarion Pro, etc...) although you
 can enter anything in this line. The next 2 lines are what will be executed
 when this selection is chosen. First you need to decide if the directory must
 be changed to where your software resides. Normally this is the case. Next,
 enter the command that executes the software, usually this file will end with
 .EXE. Finally, you can change the directory back to the root directory. To do
 all of what we just went through, you would key this:

 CD \QB45~QB~CD \

 As you can see by the example, the symbol '~' allows you to stack commands by
 placing this symbol between. No spaces are needed. The example above will do
 the following:
               1) Change to the QuickBasic directory
               2) Execute QuickBasic
               3) Upon exiting QuickBasic, change back to the root directory.

 After any selection finishes executing, you are returned to CMenu.

 Now a few words about while you are in CMenu.

 The one biggest key to remember while using this system is the ESC key or the
 RIGHT mouse button. It will always cancel the current function and return
 you to the previous screen.

 One other feature I'll tell you about is full mouse support.  By this we mean
 that on all screens that require a selection between multiple choices, you can
 use the mouse to point and select one. If you have a 2 button mouse, the left
 button will be the ENTER key and the right button will be the ESC key. If you
 have a 3 button mouse, the middle key will activate the help. On a 2 button
 mouse, press both buttons at the same time for help.  Also, while on the main
 screen you can use the mouse in the same manner as you would the function keys
 (F1 - F10). Just place the arrow on the function to execute and click either
 mouse button.  Likewise, to scroll the menu selections, place the arrow on the
 UP or DOWN fields and press or hold down the mouse button. When you get to the
 line you want to execute, press the left button. To execute a selection from
 the main menu or a popup menu, press the LEFT mouse button twice.

 There are many other features in this system that you will want to know about
 so you can make full use of its capabilities. Each menu feature is broken out
 into its own chapter. This will make referencing this manual easier and more
 convenient. All screens in CMenu have an accompanying help screen with
 them. Just press the F1 key to get this help.

 The last page of this manual is a registration form. If after using this menu
 you decide to keep using it, please fill it out and mail it to the address
 listed at the bottom of the form. This will allow me to inform all interested
 users of upgrades and other new products.

                              SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

 To be able to use CMenu, you must first meet the following hardware and
 software criteria:

                              IBM PC-XT or above
                         Color or Monochrome monitor
                               DOS 3.0 or above
                          256k of available memory
                             1 Floppy Disk Drive
                1 Hard Disk Drive with a minimum of 300k free
                               Printer (Optional)
                               Mouse (Optional)

 You must have an IBM PC or TRUE compatible since this system uses direct BIOS
 calls.

        CMenu                                                User Guide
      

                                 SETUP

 CMenu is very easy to set up. If you currently have a file called MENU.BAT
 in your root directory, it should be renamed before starting this procedure.
 To install the menu, follow these steps:

       1.   From the c:\ prompt, type MD MENU

       2.   Next, type A:PKUNZIP A:QMENU C:\MENU

       3.   The CMenu program will be installed on your hard disk.

       4.   Add C:\MENU to the end of the PATH statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
            file. Once done, you should re-boot to activate the new path.

 To access CMenu simply type MENU and press ENTER.



 *NOTE*
  ALL CMenu files must reside in the \MENU directory.

                                   HELP

 The CMenu Help screens in this system are accessed by pressing the F1 key
 (see below). This key can be pressed at any time for help. Once F1 is pressed,
 the Help screen for the current task is displayed.  If F1 is pressed while a
 popup menu is displayed, a Help screen for the first function on the menu
 displays.  Help screens for each function on the popup menu will also be
 available. If using a mouse, you can also press either the middle mouse button
 (for 3 button mice) or press the Left and Right buttons at the same time.

                          Turning Security On and Off

 The CMenu Security feature works in conjunction with the Name and Password
 option.  If Security is turned ON and a name and password has been set up, a
 sign-in screen displays before allowing entry into CMenu (see below). To
 get past the sign-in screen, you must use the same name and password that was
 keyed in under the name and password option. Spaces and case do not matter for
 these fields.

 Once security has been turned on, you will not be able to get past it without
 knowing the name and password. See the next section on how to enter a name and
 password.

 Follow the steps below to turn CMenu's security ON or OFF:

 1.   Highlight the Turn Security On option from the popup menu using either
      the arrow keys or your mouse and press ENTER. If using a mouse, press the
      LEFT button for ENTER.

 2.   Type  ON or YES to turn security on.
                   - OR -
      Type OFF or NO to turn security off.

                        Updating the Name and Password

  In addition to having to turn security on (The 1st option on the popup menu),
 you must enter a NAME and PASSWORD. These 2 fields are also used to invoke the
 sign-in screen. You may enter anything you like in both fields. Remember that
 whatever you enter here will be required on the sign-in screen. Both a NAME
 and PASSWORD must be entered to turn the security on.


  DO NOT FORGET WHAT YOU ENTER. ONCE SECURITY IS TURNED ON, YOU CANNOT GET
  INTO THE MENU WITHOUT THEM.

                           Using the Lock PC feature

 This feature is used when you are going to be away from your PC and wish to
 lock it for only a short while.

 To access this screen, select the 3rd option from the security popup menu
 by using the arrow keys or the mouse.

 You will now be required to enter some form of a password. After entering the
 password, press ENTER. A lockout screen will  display (see below). The only
 way back to the menu is by typing in the password you just entered.

 THERE IS NO OTHER WAY IN. Do not forget this password because it is only
 stored in memory and cannot be viewed in any manner. If you do forget your
 password, you will have to re-boot your PC. Once the correct password is
 entered, you are returned to the popup security menu screen.

                               BATCH UTILITIES

 CMenu gives you the capability of creating and maintaining small (18 lines
 or less) batch files. To select this option, press F3 or place the mouse cursor
 on the F3 selection and press the LEFT button. To exit the menu, press ESC or
 the RIGHT mouse button.

 Batch files (sometimes called batch programs or BAT files) are used for many
 things in the DOS environment. They can be used to consolidate routine
 operations like changing to a special directory before executing software, as
 input to other programs or to build a small menu.

 CMenu is driven by a batch file called MENU.BAT. This batch file first
 executes the CMenu program and then executes another batch file that is
 built from within the CMenu program. This batch file will then execute the
 software you selected from within the menu.

 Although this menu can execute any other program directly (executing the .EXE
 file), it is usually a better idea to build a small batch file to execute your
 program and then have CMenu execute the batch file. This way you can have
 more control over what happens before and after your selection is executed. A
 small example of a very useful batch file would be:

  @ECHO OFF
  CD \MENU
  QMENU
  CD \

 Upon execution of this batch file, the current directory is changed to TEST,
 a program called QMENU.EXE is executed, and after it completes executing, the
 current directory is changed back to the root directory.

 For more information on how, why and when to use batch files, consult your
 DOS manual.

                            Creating A Batch File

 1.   To create a new batch file, select the first option from the batch file
      menu using the arrow keys or the mouse.

 2.   Type in the path and filename of the batch file that you want to create.
      If the name you entered already exists, you will be required to enter a
      new name.

      Once a valid name is entered, you will be presented with a screen large
      enough to hold 18 lines of data. While in this screen, ALL editing keys
      will work. This includes the INSERT, DELETE, BACKSPACE and ARROW keys.

      No syntax checking is performed on the data that you key in. This means
      that if something is entered incorrectly, you will not know it until this
      file is executed.

      To exit before actually creating this file, you can press the ESC key to
      return to the batch file menu. To save you file, press F10. This will
      save your file and return you to the batch file menu.

      EX:  C:\TEST\TEST.BAT
                 or

                             Deleting A Batch File

 1.   To delete a batch file, select the 2nd option on the menu using the arrow
      keys or the mouse.

 2.   Type the exact path and filename (see example) and press ENTER.

      If the file exists, it will be deleted. If no match is found, a message
      will display and you can enter the correct name or press ESC to exit.

      EX: C:\BATCH\TEST.BAT
               or
          C:TEST.BAT


      NOTE:     You do not get a second chance when deleting so be sure that
                you want the file deleted before you press ENTER. After the
                file is deleted, you will be returned to the batch menu.

                              Editing A Batch File

 1.   To edit an existing batch file, select the 3rd option on the
      batch menu using the arrow keys or the mouse.

 2.   Type the exact path and filename of the file you wish to edit.

      If this file does not exist, a message will display and you
      can either key in the correct path and filename or press the
      ESC key to return to the batch menu.

      Once the file is found, the first 18 lines will display for
      editing. All editing keys can be used on this screen. This
      includes the INSERT, DELETE, BACKSPACE and ARROW keys.

      Once you are finished making changes, press the F10 key to
      accept the update. If you decide not to update the file, and
      you have not pressed F10, you can press the ESC key to
      cancel any changes and return to the batch menu.

      NOTE:     Only the first 18 lines of any file can be edited
                with this screen. If a file contains more than 18
                lines and you update this file, only the 18 lines
                that appeared on the screen will be in the file. Do
                not edit any file longer than 18 lines. This screen
                was designed to allow quick and easy building of
                small batch files only.

                            MENU SELECTION MAINTENANCE

 Option F4 allows you to add, change, delete, sort or swap menu selections.
 These selections are what you select to execute your software.

 Every selection contains a title and an execution line.

 The title that you type on the add and change screens is what will appear in
 the box on the right side of the main screen.

 Once you have entered your selections, you can sort them in alphabetical
 order. This way you just press the first letter of your selections and the
 scroll bar jumps to the first selection that begins with that letter. In
 addition to sorting the selections, you can swap the position of any two
 selections. This will give you a means of grouping your software however you
 need it. The following pages will give more detail about each of the features.

 1.   To add a new selection, select the first option on the menu.

      You will then be presented with a screen to enter a 1 line title, 2 lines
      of help for that title and 2 lines to execute when this selection is made
      (see below). Note that all editing keys are valid. The title can contain
      any alphanumeric character and is required. Whatever is entered will
      display in the selection box on the right side of the main menu.

 2.   The last 2 lines are where you enter what you want executed once this
      selection is made. You may stack DOS or Batch commands by using the '~'
      symbol. (This symbol is on the same key as the Accent symbol). Something
      MUST be entered on at least one of these lines.

 3.   After entering the fields, F10 will accept your new selection and return
      you to the menu. Pressing ESC before you press F10 will cancel the
      selection and return you to the menu.

 This function gives you a means of temporarily leaving the menu and going to
 DOS to perform some function.  When you are ready to return to the menu, just
 type 'EXIT' at the DOS prompt.

 The reason this should be used as a temporary exit is because the menu program

   The program customizing feature allows you to change colors, time-out
 period, title and the background character (see below). By using this feature,
 you will be able to make the title display anything that you want, for example
 your name or your company name. You will also be able to change the background
 character to any ASCII character that you wish to be displayed as a background
 pattern. This can be blanks, single bar lines or anything that you want. If
 you do not like the default colors given, those too can be changed by
 selecting the new color from a color palette of up to 9 colors. If you change
 the colors and decide you don't like them, ALL colors can be reset to their
 original value. Two additional features are the ability to change the mouse
 cursor shape and setting a program to execute upon the screen being blanked.
 The following pages will describe in greater detail how to perform each of
 these tasks.

 To set your own colors,

 1.  Select the first option on the customizing menu using the arrow keys or the
     mouse.

     You will then be given a screen consisting of all of the areas that can
     have their color changed.

 2.  Note that there are 2 fields for each area, a background and foreground.
     You can change one or both as they are independent of each other. At the
     bottom of the screen is a list of colors with a number next to each one.
     This is the number you will enter for that color. As you change colors on
     a field and advance to the next one, the field just changed will now
     display the new color. This way you can see right away what your new color
     will look like.

     If at any time you wish to return to the original default colors, just
     enter a 9 in the field to reset and press enter.

 After making your changes, press the F10 key to save them and return you to
 the menu. Once you have returned to the MAIN MENU screen, it will be displayed
 in the new colors.

 If you decide not to change the colors, and have not pressed F10, you can
 press the ESC key to cancel any changes and return to the customizing menu.

      pattern will not be displayed until you return to the main screen. To
      return to the default pattern, enter 999 in the field and press enter.

      To exit without changing the pattern, press the ESC key.

      NOTE: For a list of valid ASCII codes, consult you DOS manual.

                             MISCELLANEOUS UTILITIES

   The utilities listed in this chapter should provide you with a few more
 useful ways of handling ASCII and TEXT files. You will now be able to print
 off a semi-formatted listing of a file that includes a heading, page numbers,
 page breaks, date and time. This will make using printouts much easier than if
 you use the DOS PRINT or TYPE commands.
   Also included is a compare utility and a search-for utility. With these
 utilities, you can compare 2 ASCII/TEXT files without regard to their length.
 This compare starts with the first line of each file and continues through
 each one until a non-matching line is found. When this happens, a message is
 displayed stating the line number at which the files did not match. The
 search-for utility allows you to search an ASCII/TEXT file for any character
 or string. If a match is found, the line containing the match is written out
 to a file along with the line number. After all matches have been found, a
 message is displayed stating how many matches were found and what file they
 were put in. At this time, you could use the print utility to print and review
 the file.
   The last two utilities allow you to alter any file or directory attributes.
 With this feature, you can make a file/directory read only, hidden, system or
 archived. If you specify read only for a file or directory, it will not allow
 it to be written over. This is useful for backup purposes. The hidden
 attribute is very useful if you want to hide a file or an entire directory.

   The following pages will describe in greater detail how to use each of these
 utilities. If you need help with any of them, just press the F1 key.

                           Comparing 2 ASCII/Text Files

 To compare two ASCII/TEXT files,

 1.   Select the first option on the utility menu using the arrow keys or the
      mouse.

 2.   Enter the exact path and file names of the two files to be compared. If
      either of the files do not exist, an error message will be displayed and
      you will then be able to enter the correct name. Once both files have
      been entered and enter pressed, the two files will be compared. These are
      compared starting at the first line of each file. It does not check the
      length of each file like the DOS command does. The compare will continue
      until it hits the end of one of the files or a non-equal line is found.
      At that time, a message is displayed stating the file that was shorter or
      the line at which the non match was found.


      Press the ESC key to return to the utility menu.

                           Searching an ASCII/Text File

 To search an ASCII or TEXT file for a character or string,

 1.   Select the second option on the utilities menu using the arrow keys or the
      mouse.

 2.   Next, enter the exact path and file name of the file to be searched and
      then enter the character or string to search for. If the file entered
      does not exists, an error message will be displayed and you can then
      enter the corrected name or press the ESC key to cancel this and just
      return to the utilities menu. Once a valid name is entered, the search
      will begin. Every line that a match is found on will be written out to a
      special file along with the number of that line. At the end of the
      search, a message is displayed stating how many matches were found and
      what the name of the file is containing the matching lines. You can then
      use the print utility to print the file off.


      Press the ESC key to return to the utility menu.

                        Altering File/Directory Attributes

 To change the attributes of a file or directory,

 1.   Select the third option on the menu using the arrow keys or the mouse.

 2.   Next, enter the exact path and file name of the file or directory to
      alter. If you are altering a directory you will not have a file extension
      (.EXE, .BAT, etc...) and you must end the name with a backslash ('\').

 3.   After the file or directory is found, the current attributes will be
      displayed in a box near the bottom of the screen. You may then change any
      and all attributes. To turn an attribute on, enter the capitalized letter
      (H, A, R or S). To turn one off, enter the small letter (h, a, r or s).

      Attribute     Definition
       H or h       This attribute will make the file or directory either
                    hidden or not hidden. If a file is hidden, this file will
                    not show when the DOS command DIR is executed. If a
                    directory is hidden, the directory entry will not be
                    displayed when the DIR command is executed. Note that the
                    file or directory does still exist, but you just cannot see
                    them.

       A or a       This attribute will make a file or directory archivable.
                    This feature is most useful if you do periodical backups of
                    files or directories. Most backup software packages will
                    recognize this byte and only backup the files or
                    directories with it turned on. Once the file has been
                    backed up, the archive byte is usually turned back off.
                    Whenever a file is updated, DOS will turn the byte back on
                    again.

       R or r       This attribute will make a file either read-only or not
                    read-only. If a file is read-only, that file cannot be
                    changed until the read-only attribute is turned back off.
                    This is very useful in preventing something from being
                    overwritten by accident.

       S or s       This attribute determines whether or not a file is a system
                    file. Normally this is only used on the DOS and BIOS files
                    in the root directory. Before making anything a system
                    file, please consult your DOS manual.

   Once you have changed the attributes, press the enter key to save your
 changes and return you to the utilities menu. If you decide not to save the
 changes, press the ESC key to cancel and return to the utilities menu.

                       Formatted Printing of ASCII/Text Files

 To get a formatted print of an ASCII or TEXT file,

 1.   Select the fourth option on the utility menu using the arrow keys or the
      mouse.

 2.   Next, enter the exact path and file name of the file to be printed. If
      the file does not exists, an error message is displayed and you can then
      enter a valid name. If the file is found, it will be printed off on the
      default printer (LPT1). This printout will contain the path and file name
      entered as the title. It will also have page breaks and page numbers for
      better referencing. A date and time stamp is also placed on all of the
      pages. Once the printing is completed, you are returned to the utility
      menu.
