Command: menu

  MENU displays a menu while running config.sys / fdconfig.sys.
  MENU is a CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS command.

Syntax:

   menu [text]

Options:

  text  The text you want to be shown while running config.sys
    Usage:
      Use menudefault to set a time delayed default option. Lines that
      begin with 1? will only be processed if the user presses 1.
      Lines beginning with 23? will be loaded if the user presses either
      2 or 3. Options other than 0 can only be selected if at least one 
      "numbers?" line actually uses them, as shown in the example below.
    Using with autoexec.bat:
      The environment variable CONFIG is set to the menu option value.
      Therefore %CONFIG% can be used in the autoexec.bat in conjunction
      with the if command. For instance:
        In config.sys "1" was chosen:
      In autoexec.bat:
        IF "%config%"=="1" SHSUCDX /D:FDCD001

Comments:

  MENU displays a menu while running config.sys / fdconfig.sys.
  MENU is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
  in order to work.

Examples:

  IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
    MENU Please Select Configuration:
    MENU
    MENU Option 0    basic stuff only
    MENU Option 1    CD-ROM
    MENU Option 2    TROUSERS
    MENU Option 3    CD-ROM and TROUSERS
    0? ECHO Warning: Only standard drivers !
    13?DEVICE=uide.sys /S125 /D:FDCD001
    23?DEVICE=TROUSERS.SYS
  IN AUTOEXEC.BAT:
    IF "%config%"=="1" SHSUCDX /D:FDCD001
    IF "%config%"=="3" SHSUCDX /D:FDCD001
