MENU - Ny Mike Williams
───────────────────────
MENU is a batch program that allows you to easily create simple
'light bar' menus, without having to pad out your batch file with
loads of ERRORLEVEL tests.
The command format is
MENU title;option1;option2;option3;option4 ...
Where: title = the menu title
option1 = the first option to be listed
option2 = the second option to be listed
etc....
On seeing a menu, you may:
a) Use the cursor keys to move the 'light bar'.
b) Press the first letter of the required option.
c) Press HOME or END to move to the bottom or top of the menu.
An option is finally selected by pressing ENTER.
On exiting a menu, MENU sets an environment variable O to a value.
The value may be :-
255 = The parameters supplied to MENU were incorrect.
99 = Escape was pressed
1-x = The number of the option selected.
NOTE: MENU sees a ; as a delimiter. You CANNOT include a ; in an
option name, or a menu title !
You can create a 'separator' line by including an equals sign (=).
DO NOT include an equals sign otherwise!
