2-24 ROM-DOS 6.22 User Manual 7/9/98
Each menu item has its own configuration block. Items that are
common to all menu choices are placed in a configuration block labeled
[COMMON]. All instructions in the common block are carried out along
with the specific instructions for any menu item. The [COMMON] block
can also be placed at the end of your CONFIG.SYS file so that
applications can append commands into this area as the application
installs. You may have as many common blocks as you want. The
instructions found in the common block(s) are processed in the order
listed in the CONFIG.SYS file.
When the CONFIG.SYS file is processed by ROM-DOS, it displays the
Startup menu defined in the [MENU] configuration block and then waits
for your response. The choice made from the menu determines the
configuration block whose commands are implemented. After the menu
selection, processing starts with any instructions in CONFIG.SYS prior
to the menu block. Then, instructions in the configuration block
(including instructions added via an INCLUDE statement) and all
common blocks are processed in the order listed in CONFIG.SYS.
ROM-DOS ignores instructions in any nonselected configuration blocks
or submenus.
