[58 Chars x 18 Lines]
[MAIN SCREEN]
   The Main Editor Screen allows you to define new Menus 
and Menu Items.  Options in the window on the left apply 
to the Menu while the settings in the top panel are for 
the highlighted Menu Item.  To define a new Menu Item: 

1. Use the cursor keys to move the Highlight bar to the 
   line on the menu where you want the new Item to appear. 
2. Press F2 to enter the Item Description Editor and type 
   in the description of the item.  Additional help is 
   available inside the Editor.
3. Set 'Selects:' (S) equal to MENU for the item to 
   display a submenu or RSIDNT to start a program. 
4. Press F5 to Activate (Define) the new Item.  

   A special Command Assistance Line at the bottom of the 
screen will show you a summary of available commands. 
NOTE:  A "Fast-Add" command (F6) lets you define new items 
quickly without having to enter the Menu Editor. 
   
[REG EDITOR]
   You may define a Custom Help window for each menu 
created.  The Custom Help windows are those seen when the 
F1 key is pressed during normal menu use.

   The MSI Text Editor is used to create Custom Help 
windows.  A summary of the Text Editor commands is given 
here.  See the User's Manual for a complete description.

  HOME & END - Move cursor to the 1st and last characters
               on a line, respectively.
  BACKSPACE - Delete the character to the left of the
              cursor.
  DEL - Delete the character under the cursor.
  INS - Insert one or more spaces at the cursor.
  ALT+C - Clear the current line.
  ALT+D - Delete the current line.
  ALT+I - Insert a blank line at the cursor.
  ALT+Q - Quit the Custom Help window editor.  

[ACTION WIND]
   The Action Window lets you define a set of DOS commands 
that will be executed when the current Menu Item is 
selected.  Any valid DOS Batch File command may be used as 
an Action Command. 
   The MSI Text Editor is used to create your Action 
Commands.  In addition to the normal Text Editor commands, 
you may also Import (F2) and Export (F3) commands.

  F2 - Import (read) Action Commands into the window from 
       an existing DOS Batch File.
  F3 - Export (write) the Action Commands out to and 
       existing or new DOS Batch File.
  DEL - Delete the character under the cursor.
  INS - Insert one or more spaces at the cursor.
  ALT+C - Clear the current line.
  ALT+D - Delete the current line.
  ALT+I - Insert a blank line at the cursor.
  ALT+Q - Quit the Action Command Window.  

[ITEM EDITOR]
   The Item Descriptor Editor lets you create and 
maintain the descriptions used for your Menu Items.  Use 
the Descriptor Editor to define new Menu Item strings, 
insert lines between exiting items, delete exiting items, 
format the menu window and change the Menu Item's command 
key.  (The command key is the first character of the item 
string, or the first two characters if two or more items 
begin with the same first character.) 

  DEL - Delete the character under the cursor.
  INS - Insert one or more spaces at the cursor.
  ALT+C - Clear the current Menu Item string.
  ALT+D - Delete the current Menu Item*.
  ALT+I - Insert a blank line at the cursor.
  ALT+Q - Quit the Item Description Editor.

  *Items that display submenus may only be deleted AFTER 
the submenu has been deleted.

[PASSWORDS]
   Each Menu Item may have a unique Password that must be 
entered by the user before the Item may be selected.  The 
user is given two attempts to enter the Password, then 
denied access if the correct Password is not entered.

   Passwords ARE CASE SENSITIVE.  That means that the 
password must be entered using both Upper and Lower case 
letters, exactly as they are entered in the Password 
window.

   The only time a Password is visible is during the 
actual editing of the Password.  At all other times the 
Password window will display "None", if no Password is 
defined for the highlighted item, or "*******" if a 
Password has been defined for the current item.

   Press ENTER to leave the Password Editor and return to 
the Main Editor Screen.

[SELECTS]
   The "Selects:" setting determines HOW the current Menu 
Item will behave when it is selected.  Options are:

   Action - Non-Resident Item.  MSI will NOT be in memory 
            when this Item's Action Commands are executed. 
   Rsidnt - Resident Item.  MSI WILL REMAIN in memory 
            when this Item's Action Commands are executed. 
   Menu   - Item will display a submenu.
   Dual   - ADVANCED USE.  Defines two sets of Action 
            Commands and a submenu.  See User's Manual.
   ErrLev - ADVANCED USE.  Returns an ERRORLEVEL code to 
            RUNMSI.BAT for external processing.
   KeyBrd - Allows you to add any valid MSI command as a 
            selectable Menu Item.
   ReBoot - ADVANCED USE.  Replaces AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or
            CONFIG.SYS & Reboots system.
   Event  - ADVANCED USE.  Define an Event to execute at a 
            specified date & time. System Event Menu ONLY. 
  
[STRING EDIT]
   The MSI Text Editor is also used to edit individual 
strings.  This means that there is little difference 
between editing a Window of Action Commands and a Password 
or Menu Name.  The commands available for editing this 
string are summarized here.

  HOME & END - Move cursor to the 1st and last characters
               of the string, respectively.
  BACKSPACE - Delete the character to the left of the
              cursor.
  DEL - Delete the character under the cursor.
  INS - Insert one or more spaces at the cursor.
  ALT+C - Clear the current string.
  ALT+D - For strings, same as ALT+C.
  ENTER - Accept the string as shown.
  ESC   - Cancel string edits.  The string will be 
          restored to its original state prior to being 
          edited. 

[BOOT DRIVE]
   The Boot Drive is the disk drive that your computer 
'boots' (gets its initial instructions) from when it is 
first turned on or reset.  If you have a harddisk, this is 
normally Drive C. 

   The MSI Menu System uses the Boot Drive for Menu Items 
that 'Select' ReBoot.  These Items let you define a set of 
Action Commands to place in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and/or 
another set of Action Commands to place in your CONFIG.SYS 
file.  

   When the ReBoot Item is selected, the contents of 
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS are replaced, IF a respective 
set of Action Commands has been defined, and your computer 
system is ReBooted.  

   The Boot Drive letter tells MSI where your AUTOEXEC.BAT 
and CONFIG.SYS files are located.

[EVENT HELP]
   The Event Control Panel lets you manage the scheduling 
for the highlighted event, including enabling and 
disabling the event.

   D - Define Event.  Access the Event's Action Commands.
   S - Status.  Enable or Disable the current Event.
   H - Hour.  Set Hour for Event execution.
   M - Minute.  Set Minute for Event execution.

   L - Daily.  Event executes DAILY.
   W - Weekly.  Set day of the week for Event execution.
   O - Monthly.  Set day of the month for execution.
   C - Continue.  Remove the Event Control Panel.

   The Event Control Panel will appear each time an item 
is highlighted.  Press 'C' and F2 to define the Item 
String for the Event.


[MENU COLORS]
   Two sets of Background/Foreground colors may be defined 
for the menu.  The "Border Colors" define the colors used 
to draw the Menu border and title.  The "Item Colors" 
define the colors used inside the Menu for the Item 
Strings. 

   B - Border Background.  Define a background color for 
       the current Menu's border.
   F - Border Foreground.  Define a foreground color for

   You have your choice of 11 different border characters

Menu border is drawn using the "Menu Colors".  The border 
options are:
