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.
