Information about “EASYMENU 1 OF 3 (ALSO 739, 740)”
EASYMENU is a simple menu system with a few extra features that make
your PC easier to use. You record the commands you use to
start an application, then let EASYMENU remember for you. You can run
any program at a keystroke or by clicking a mouse button. It saves you
time and keystrokes when you run your other computer programs, and lets
you view useful notes and comments prior to running a program. If you
are new to computers, EASYMENU tells you about your computer hardware,
amount of memory, number of access ports for printers and modems, the
version of DOS you are using, and other useful information. If you are
more experienced, you might like to know that EASYMENU can run up to
nine programs per menu, and that you can use batch files from within
EASYMENU.

Program Title: EASYMENU version 2.0 (disk 1 0f 3)
PC-SIG version 2
EASYMENU is a, simple menu system, with a few extra features. It
makes your PC more convenient to use. You record the start-up
command sequence for all programs -- such as CD\directory,
PROGRAM-NAME/Option Switch, or BATCH file, then let EASYMENU remember for
you. You can run any program at a keystroke or by clicking a mouse button.
It saves you time and keystrokes when you run your other computer programs
and lets you view useful notes and comments prior to running a program. If
you are new to computers, EASYMENU tells you about your computer hardware,
the amount of memory, number of access ports for printers and modems, the
version of DOS you are using and other useful information. If you are a
more experienced computer user, you might like to know that EASYMENU can
run up to 9 programs per menu and that you can use batch files.
