Menu file edit
 This  command  allows to create  and  maintain  user-defined
 menus, which  you  access  with  the  F2  key (or  User menu
 command in the Files menu):

                     +---- User Menu ----+
                     | A    Command 1    |
                     | F1   Command 2    |
                     |      Command 3    |
                     | F10  Another menu |
                     +-------------------+
                       .
                       +--- Hot-key

 User-defined menus are like batch files, but  you  can  give
 each "batch file" a long name.

 The following file was used to create the menu above:

          +Edit: C:\progs\vc\vc.mnu                 +
          |'Comment line                            |
          |a:  Command 1                            |
          |       DOS command                       |
          |       another DOS command               |
          |f1: Command 2                            |
          |       @ a command                       |
          |Command 3                                |
          |       ...                               |
          |f10: Another menu                        |
          |       C:\main.mnu                       |
          |       ...                               |
          +-----------------------------------------+
           .
           +--- First column in the Editor.

 If you  wish  use  submenu, type  its  full  name  with  the
 extension '.mnu'.

 A comment line should have ' character in the first column.

 You  can  type @ charracter before any DOS command to cancel
 output of the prompt and the command line.

 Here are all the ! arguments that you can use in commands:

   Argument     What                             Example
   --------     ----------------------------     ------------
   !.!          File name with the extension     filename.ext
   !            File name, without extension     filename
   !:           The current drive letter         A:
   !\           The current page                 \PATH
   !!           Insert the `!' character         !
   !@           Create list of selected files    C:\VC\vc.lst

 The TEMP environment variable sets the  path  where the file
 VC.LST  will be created. If the  TEMP  variable was not set,
 the  file  VC.LST  is  created  in  the  directory where the
 Commander was started.

 Menu  titles start with a hot key (optional) followed by the
 title you want to see in the pop-up menu. The  DOS  commands
 are indented by spaces or tabs.

   Notes:
     .  There are two types of user  menus: Main  and  Local.
        The main user menu is stored in the same directory as
        the Commander (or the directory pointed to  by the VC
        environment variable). The local  user menu is a user
        menu in the current  directory. This  allows  you  to
        have a number  of  user-defined  menus, however  most
        people just use the main menu.

     .  If you use F1 in a user menu, it will run  that  menu
        item rather than bring up the on-line help.
