- Quick menu module instructions: (by N Hawthorn 10/6/91)
-
- This module was created by Noam Freedman and modified for
- release by N Hawthorn.
-
-
- You must name the menu module to a different name for each menu.
- The ID # must be different than any other too.
-
- Use ResEdit to do all this. Later a easy way to do this will be found.
-
- You need to put the folder "menus" into the "1 BBS" folder, or the same folder as
- MUBBS. It must be called "menus".
-
- The file in the folder "menus" called "menu1.info", contains the info needed
- for the menu module to call another module.
-
- The first line is ONE character only ! It's the character the user will
- push to get this choice.
-
- The next line is the name of the module to call if this choice is selected.
-
- There is a MAXIMUM of 20 selections that can be selected. Do not exceed this !
- (MUBBS menus are suposto be short anyway). If you put the wrong name, you'll
- know it !
-
- Don't forget Quit and Logoff, they are keywords (not actual modules) that
- are part of the menu module. It detects them and either quit or cause a
- logoff. If you don't want to include Logoff in your menu, just don't. But
- you need quit if you want to return back to the previous module.
-
- The words "logoff" and "quit" in the ".info" file are in LOWERCASE ONLY !!
-
- You could use any character for the user to select as logoff, such as "G"
- for goodbye, but the word "logoff" must be used in the ".info" file. The
- letters "Q" and "L" are standard for Quit and Logoff in MUBBS and you should
- try to stick to these.
-
- The "selection" characters must be in UPPERCASE it the ".info" file
- If you are the FIRST module called from MUBBS, Quitting would cause a logoff
- anyway, so just supply logoff only in that menu.
-
- The file "menu1.txt" is the menu, in text format. The file "menu1.ansi" is the
- menu for ANSI codes if the user selected ANSI on mode.
-
- All files are text only files. You should use something like "jolliwrite"
- (a D/A) to edit these files.
-
- If you name your menu module "joe", then the files in the "menus" folder named
- "joe.info" and "joe.txt" will be used for that menu.
-
- A menu module can call another menu module, but DON'T call YOUR MENU MODULE
- or suffer a endless loop and weird effects !
