├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Starworks Menu Program should be started by running the MENU program.  Menu  │
│ will automatically run MENUCTL.  MENU is transparent.  MENUCTL is the main   │
│ program that you, the user, work with.  When you select a menu item to       │
│ execute, MENUCTL performs the following steps:                               │
│                                                                              │
│  1. If a privacy code is present, prompt for the code.                       │
│  2. If a drive is present, change the default drive to the entered drive.    │
│  3. If a path is present, change the default path to the entered path.       │
│  4. If 'Edit command' is YES, display the DOS command and allow it to be     │
│     edited.                                                                  │
│  5. If Minimize is YES, then load the DOS command into a data area shared    │
│     with MENU.EXE, then terminate, returning control to MENU, which          │
│     executes the command.  If Minimize is NO, then MENUCTL executes the      │
│     DOS command directly.  With Minimize set to YES, SMP requires about      │
│     10K of RAM to execute the command.  With it set to NO, it requires       │
│     about 107K but recycles faster.                                          │
│  6. When the DOS command ends, MENUCTL is reloaded.                          │
│  7. If 'Delay return' is YES, you are prompted to press a key to             │
│     continue before the screen is redrawn.                                   │
