If you are talking about a Batch file DOS menu, have someone with a Windows ME OS make you a Startup diskette and look at the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files on the diskette for a good working example of how to construct one.

Hello,

you can create a DOS menu with the MS-DOS program CHOICE.COM!
For more details run from MS-DOS the HELP.COM
and look for CHOICE and IF [ERRORLEVEL]!

Example:
________________________________________________________________

@echo off
cls
echo Program Menu
echo ======================
echo.
echo A - Microsoft Editor
echo B - F-Prot for DOS
echo C - Norton Commander
echo.
choice /c:abc Which program do you want to start ?
if errorlevel 3 goto NC
if errorlevel 2 goto fprot
if errorlevel 1 goto edit
goto end

:edit
edit.com
goto end

:fprot
c:
cd \F-Prot
f-prot.exe
goto Ende

:NC
c:
cd \NC
nc.exe
goto end

:end
________________________________________________________________
