This document explains the format of the MENU data files for Pulldown.

You can easily change the menu setup for Pulldown, you can add menus, change
the names of them, and change the contents of each menu.  Here is the format:

Line 1: Number of Menu options.
Line 2: Menu option #1,
Line 3: Menu option #2,
Line 4: etc. etc.

You can have a maximum of 10 options on each menu (This limit is for speed
concerns).

Here is an example menu file:

4
O;Operator Page
WHO;is Online
LANG;Language Select
!Z:\PCB\PPE\PULLDOWN\MOD\GOODBYE.PPE;G;Goodbye

Line 1: This tells Pulldown that there are 4 options on this menu.

Line 2: This is the first item on the menu,
	The first "O" tells pulldown that the PCBoard command that this menu
	item activates is the (O)perator page command, the text after the
	semicolon is the description of the command.

Line 3-4: Ditto

Line 5: This line is different because instead of invoking a normal PCBoard
	command, it calls a PPE directly, with out exiting pulldown.
	The first part ("!Z:\PCB\PPE\PULLDOWN\MOD\GOODBYE.PPE") is the path
	and file name of the PPE you wish to invoke, the second part ("G")
	is the letter that can be typed to instantly select that menu option,
	the third part ("Goodbye") is the description of the command shown to
	the user.  You must separate each part by a semicolon.

This should give you a good idea how to edit the menu files.  The files
themselves are located in the "MENUS" subdirectory in your main pulldown
directory, they are called MENU1.DAT - MENU7.DAT.  After changing any of
the menu data files, you must run COMPILE.PPE from the pulldown directory,
this program compiles the data files into .MNU files for pulldown to read
in on the fly.  This method speeds up the operation of the program a great
deal.

Please read the next section for information on Sub-Menus, and read
pulldown.doc if you haven't already.

Sub-Menus
-------------------------------------
Sub menus are the same as normal menus, except that they are activated by
selecting an option on a normal menu, people familiar with windows have
probably seen these in several windows programs.

To add a sub menu off of one of your normal menus, add a line something like
this as a menu option:

>READ;R;Read messages

The first part ("READ") is the name of the menu file for the sub menu, the
extension .SUB is automatically added, the second part ("R") is the hotkey
to automatically activate the submenu, and the third part ("Read messages") is
the description shown to the user.

Now, after doing this, create a text file with the same name you used in part
one of the command, and the extension .SUB, this file has the same format of
a normal menu file, the only difference is it cannot contain any more sub
menus.
