3]MENU RUNNER: Do It All From Workbench (Bye-bye, CLI!)

-----------------------------------------------------

     Menu Runner is a replacement menu for the Workbench screen. Disguised
as a mind mannered menu clock, MR allows you to run 40 of your most
precious programs. The program is simplicity itself. All you do is edit a
simple text file to put your own commands in the menus. Each has the option
for extensions to be added so many C commands can also be used. (Example:
Dir df0:). Output goes to the Cli you ran it from or into its own window if
invoked from the Workbench.
     MR displays the current time, chip memory, fast memory, and total free
memory. The names in the menus can be anything you wish up to 18 characters
(ex. Show a Picture). The file name can be up to 50 characters and you have 
the option to open a window for extensions if they are needed.
     Menu Runner is released as shareware. If you like it and use it send
$10 to J.L. White, 1304 Four Seasons Blvd., Tampa, FL 33613, (813) 971-4451.

3]     JUMPDISK NOTE: The following example of the menu data file is a
3]template suggesting the wide range of uses of this system. The working menu
3]file in this issue is
3]j:menurunner/mr.data
3]and it's recommend you study it and use it as your template when you set up
3]the system on your own disk. Keep this in mind: The MR.DATA file should be
3]left exactly as it is, including the text and spacing at the top. You may
3]insert new titles and commands in the empty areas, and you may erase or
3]replace the material put there by JUMPDISK editors as examples. Keep those
3]40 lines in the data file, whether they are used or not.

  Menu Runner Data File    

Enter the name to appear in the menu between the first 2 `*'.
Enter the command between the next 2 `*'. Then place a capital
`Y' between the last 2 `*' if an extension is needed or `N' for none.

     You can have more than one command on a line, but it is tricky. I am
sure there is a better way, but I don't know it. If you do, send me the
code and I will add it. To have more than one command on a line you must
place a carriage return after each command. It will throw off the display of
this file but works. Start with a CR after the second * and place your first
command on the next line. Press Return after the command and place the next
command on the next line. The following is an example line with a `@' to
show where the carriage returns would be:

*CLI WIZARD        *@
cd vd0:c@
run cli-wizard@
cd vd0:@
                 *N*@

*CLI WIZARD        *cli-wizard                                        *N*@
                   *------------------ 50 CHARACTERS -----------------*

The command line still has to be 50 characters (including CR's), so once you
have edited this file, load Menu Runner and if you see strange words in your
menus, then you know you counted incorrectly.
