Creating Menus
Making Menus Work
NOTE: If you choose not to use the %STATION identifier variable, you must manually
create a file with a maximum length of seven characters. The NMENU program
automatically prepends the # symbol to the beginning of the S_FILE filename.
If the user will be using a menu with the logout option, set the S_FILEDIR
environment variable to a path on the user’s local drive. Set the S_FILE to
“%STATION.”
A copy of the MENU-X.BAT file needs to be in the SYS:LOGIN directory if
the NMENU LOGOUT option is going to be used.
EXEC LOGOUT gives the message “Batch file not found” unless the
temporary directory is on a local drive and MENU_X.BAT is in the LOGIN
directory.
Starting NMENU from a Login Script
If you want the menu to execute from within a login script, add the EXIT
login script command. For example, to execute the ACCOUNT menu from a
user’s login script, add the following line to the login script:
EXIT “NMENU ACCOUNT”
