- ==============================================================
-
- QUIKMENU provides the ability to produce very user friendly
- menu systems easily.
-
- The system uses simple a simple batch file and small text file
- to create menus.
-
- If you have a colour screen then menus are displayed in colour
- otherwise mono attributes are used to good effect.
-
- There are two example files provided.
-
- MAINMENU.BAT The batch file that calls QUIKMENU and controls
- the selection process.
- You may copy MAINMENU.BAT to another name then
- edit it to suit your needs.
-
- MAINMENU.MNU The text file that contains the items displayed
- in the menu.
- You may copy this file to another name and edit
- it to suit your needs.
- This file must have a maximum of 13 lines.
- The first line in this is the System Title.
- The second line is name of the menu.
- The remaining lines are the selectable menu items.
-
-
- You may either view these files on screen using the MS DOS TYPE
- command as follows.
-
- TYPE MAINMENU.BAT | MORE
- TYPE MAINMENU.MNU | MORE
-
- You may print out these files using the MS DOS COPY command as
- follows......
-
- COPY MAINMENU.BAT PRN
- COPY MAUNMENU.MNU PRN
-
- The file MAINMENU.BAT includes REM statements to indicate the
- areas where you would insert your own directory names or program
- run commands.
-
- The Syntax of the line calling the QUIKMENU program is as follows.
-
- QM MAINMENU where MAINMENU is the name of the .MNU file, do
- not add the extension .MNU as the programm does
- this by default.
-
- When creating a .MNU file please note that the first line is the
- name of the system - this may be left balnk if desired but must
- be in the file.
- The second line is the name of the menu concerned and may be left
- blank if desired. This is not recommended because if you use more
- than one menu the name gives an indication of which area you are
- working with.
- The Menu Selection Items start on line 3 !!.
-
- A maximum of 11 items will fit onto the screen in any menu.
- If there is a need for more than 11 items then one of the items
- should be a call to another menu - different batch file and text
- files names.
- The program QUIKMENU will produce an error if more than 11 items
- are included in the .MNU file and will display a message to that
- effect.

- The label for this would look like .....
-
- ...
- ...
- IF ERRORLEVEL 5 GOTO MENU2
- ...
- ...
- :MENU2
- CLS
- NEXTMENU
- GOTO START
- ...
- ...
-
- NEXTMENU.BAT and NEXTMENU.MNU would be the names of the menu to
- be displayed.
-
- NEXTMENU may also have a call back to MAINMENU as an option to
- redisplay your original menu.
