MENUITEM--Notes

Defining menu blocks

A menu block is a set of menu-definition commands that begins with a block
header--the name of the block enclosed in square brackets. To have a startup
menu, your CONFIG.SYS file must contain a menu block that has the [menu]
block header.

You can use the <SUBMENU> command to define submenus. Each submenu has its
own menu block, which can be named anything you want.

A menu block must contain at least one MENUITEM or SUBMENU command.

Number of items on the startup menu

MS-DOS displays the menu items in the order they appear in the menu block
and numbers them automatically. The first menu item is always number 1 on
the menu; there can be up to nine items. If you need to define more than
nine menu items, use the SUBMENU command.
