ROM-DOS Internal Commands 4-49

CONFIG.SYS Command
The MENUITEM command allows you to specify 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
The blockname argument is a user-defined label given to a configuration
block defined elsewhere in the CONFIG.SYS file. If a user selects the
menu item, all commands in the selected configuration block are
processed, along with the instructions that are 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.
The menu_text option is a descriptive statement that defines the
blockname. The menu_text is displayed on the screen as a line item in
the startup menu. The
menu_text argument can be up to 70 characters
long and can contain any characters. If this argument 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.
