New Release

MENU-ESC is  a menu program, allowing users to use a function
key to perform tasks such as loading programs.  It also has a
three level security system, allowing a user to control  both
access  to the menu and access to individual menu selections.
Menu and key titles are programmable, as are steps performed.

Type MENU-ESC from the DOS command line.  You may rename  the
program if desired, and is often done to allow multiple menus
in one directory, where a key on one menu causes another menu
to  load.   The program can accept a command-line parameters,
or be called normally.  Two parameters are available :

MENU-ESC 2 - Causes the Alternate Menu to be displayed first.

MENU-ESC S - Causes the program to load in the Secured Mode.

While the program is loading, you may press the  desired  key
to  execute,  and it will automatically perform the steps for
that key when finished loading.

There are 2 menus within the program, Primary and  Alternate,
and  the display is switched between them by pressing Page Up
or Page Down.  With either menu displayed, the keys for  both
are  active, so keys F1 - F12 will be used with the Alternate
Menu displayed on the screen, and keys Alt-F1 - Alt-F12  will
be used even with the Primary Menu on screen.  The Home, End,
and  Escape keys are on both menus, so there are 27 different
keys available to be programmed.

The number of steps can be from 1 to 10, and blank steps  are
skipped.  The steps can be any valid DOS command, and what is
actually  being programmed is a batch file.  Once programmed,
pressing the key will cause a DOS batch file called  TEMP.BAT
to  be created, and will then exit and automatically run TEMP
from DOS.

Rather than simply performing DOS commands, you  can  program
the  key  to call other batch files or run any of a multitude
of other programs.  You can optionally make execution of  any
or all keys require one of three different security codes, or
use a command line parameter to secure the whole menu.

This program  is  an excellent time and space saving utility.
It is non-TSR, and requires EGA or VGA color.   Versions  are
available which are optimized for 80286 and 80386 systems.
