- UTIL OCT90 PROGRAMMABLE MENU ESC SYSTEM DOS SHELL
- FILES: menu-esc.sdn

- New Release
-
- MENU-ESC is a menu program, allowing users to use a function
- key to perform tasks such as loading programs. It also has a
- three level security system, allowing a user to control both
- access to the menu and access to individual menu selections.
- Menu and key titles are programmable, as are steps performed.
-
- Type MENU-ESC from the DOS command line. You may rename the
- program if desired, and is often done to allow multiple menus
- in one directory, where a key on one menu causes another menu
- to load. The program can accept a command-line parameters,
- or be called normally. Two parameters are available :
-
- MENU-ESC 2 - Causes the Alternate Menu to be displayed first.
-
- MENU-ESC S - Causes the program to load in the Secured Mode.
-
- While the program is loading, you may press the desired key
- to execute, and it will automatically perform the steps for
- that key when finished loading.
-
- There are 2 menus within the program, Primary and Alternate,
- and the display is switched between them by pressing Page Up
- or Page Down. With either menu displayed, the keys for both
- are active, so keys F1 - F12 will be used with the Alternate
- Menu displayed on the screen, and keys Alt-F1 - Alt-F12 will
- be used even with the Primary Menu on screen. The Home, End,
- and Escape keys are on both menus, so there are 27 different
- keys available to be programmed.
-
- The number of steps can be from 1 to 10, and blank steps are
- skipped. The steps can be any valid DOS command, and what is
- actually being programmed is a batch file. Once programmed,
- pressing the key will cause a DOS batch file called TEMP.BAT
- to be created, and will then exit and automatically run TEMP
- from DOS.
-
- Rather than simply performing DOS commands, you can program
- the key to call other batch files or run any of a multitude
- of other programs. You can optionally make execution of any
- or all keys require one of three different security codes, or
- use a command line parameter to secure the whole menu.
-
- This program is an excellent time and space saving utility.
- It is non-TSR, and requires EGA or VGA color. Versions are
- available which are optimized for 80286 and 80386 systems.
