ROM-DOS 6.22 Command Descriptions 3-81

M E N U I T E M

CONFIG.SYS

Purpose

Specifies an item on the startup menu. This command can only be
used within a menu configuration block in the CONFIG.SYS file.

Syntax

MENUITEM = blockname [,menu_text]

Remarks

blockname is a user defined label given to a configuration block
defined elsewhere in the CONFIG.SYS file. If a user selects the
menuitem, all commands in the selected configuration block are
processed, along with the instructions common to all menu choices
(denoted by block header [COMMON]). The blockname can be up to 70
characters long and may contain most printable characters, including
spaces, backslashes (\), forward slashes (/), commas, semicolons (;),
equal signs (=). Square brackets ([]) cannot be used in block names.

menu_text is a descriptive statement that defines the blockname. The
menu_text is displayed on the screen as a line item in the startup
menu. menu_text can be up to 70 characters long and can contain any
characters. If menu_text is left off, the blockname is used for the
startup menu display.

If your system BIOS does not support a Video display directly, such as
Datalight's miniBIOS, please refer to the MENUCOLOR command for
special instructions.
