SYNOPSIS

 

DESCRIPTION

Piglet's menu is defined by a customizable file "./MENUDATA_V". The default menu is defined as:

ayyyyy|ADD |R|P|L|N|T|
ayyygg|SHO |C|A|I|+|-|
ayyggg|GRI |#|^|1|2|3|
ayyggg|WIN |;|!|4|5|6|
yyyggg|:F|:V|:Z|7|8|9|
yyyggg|:D|:S|:V|,|0|.|
yyyyyy|:W|:M|:N|:O|:R|
yyaaaw|:X|:Y|X|Y|@|XY|
ww    |      |       |
aaa   |WRA |SMA |GRO |
aaa   |MOV |COP |STR |
ypy   |IDE |POI |LIS |
ygg   |DIST |DISP |  |
ggg   |DUM |PLO |LOC |
ggy   |ARC |RET |INP |
gw    |CHA |         |
rrr   |UND |BYE |DEL |
yyr   |SAV |EDI |EXI |

The file consists of fields separated by "|" characters. The first field consists of some combination of the characters "wrgbapy" which denote the colors white, red, green, blue, aqua, purple and yellow. There should be as many color designators as remaining fields. The subsequent fields on each line will be displayed exactly as shown, rendered in the corresponding color. The vertical bars are replaced with white bounding boxes.

When using the editor, any mouse picks on the menu boxes inject the menu text directly into the parse stream. The menu designer should take care to leave extra spaces after command names so that any combination of mouse picks results in intellegible commands.
