Configuring ROM-DOS 3-3
A sample menu block might look as follows:
[MENU]
menuitem=Research, Research and Development
menuitem=WP, Word Processing
menuitem=Games, Games
menucolor=8,5
menudefault=WP, 10
When the system boots, the following menu displays
ROM-DOS 6.22 Startup Menu
1. Research and Development
2. Word Processing
3. Games
Enter a choice: 1
Each menu item has its own configuration block. Items that are common
to all menu choices can be 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 they
are listed in the CONFIG.SYS file.
When the CONFIG.SYS file is processed by ROM-DOS, it first displays
the startup menu that was 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 to be executed.
After the menu selection, processing starts with any instructions in
CONFIG.SYS prior to the menu block. Then, instructions in the selected
configuration block (including instructions added in via an INCLUDE
statement) and all common blocks are processed in the order they are
listed in CONFIG.SYS. ROM-DOS ignores the instructions in any non-
selected configuration blocks or submenus.
