Creating Menus
Using the NMENU Commands
Table 6-2 ITEM Command Options
ITEM option Explanation
BATCH Removes the menu program from memory before
executing the item.
Without this option, a portion of the memory
stays resident, requiring approximately 32 KB of
available memory, even though an application
may be running.
For example, if you type
ITEM Word 5.0 {BATCH}
the menu program is removed from memory
when Word 5.0 is executed.
Setting this option automatically sets the CHDIR
option. Do not use this command with the EXEC
DOS command; use EXEC CALL.
For more information, see “EXEC” in this
chapter.
