-
- Menu is a fast access menu system for all Amiga users. This program is meant
- to avoid the problems to find and start your favorite program some where out
- on your hard disk or on your disk. Menu reads the ASCII file in SYS:s/ named
- MENU-SETUP or the file you enter in the command line to know that you like
- to have in the menus.
-
- How to USE
-
- On one sheet there are ten menu items. Plus one menu head. You choose between
- them by pressing one of the keys F1 to F10 or choose on one of them with the
- mouse. To get to the main menu press ESC or hit the right mouse button. Menu
- will also quit if you choose the quit gadget in upper left corner. If you
- choose the back gadget in upper right corner menu will do ScreentoBack and
- place its screen behind the other screens.
-
- After Menu has been started it always shows menu sheet Zero (0), therefor you
- must have your main menu on sheet zero.
-
- One sheet consist of one menu head and ten selectable menu items. The menu
- head is a 60 characters line (topaz 9 font) and the menuitems are 80 characters
- lines (topaz 8 font). Each line can be printed in one of sixteen colors that
- the user defines in MENU-SETUP. The shades that the text are printed on are
- defined with the colors 13,14,15.
