Greetings from Hawaii!
I am having trouble tailoring the Xenix 286 vsh program, particularly
creating a viable *.mnu file.
1) What is the general syntax/format of an *.mnu file? Does this file have
the same name as the corresponding command (Ex. finger.mnu)?
2) Where should this *.mnu file be placed? - I tried to create a *.mnu file
having the same name & location as the corresponding command using the
example given in the Xenix 286's "vsh - Using Advance Features" doc but
with no recognition. Not even an error. Merely the default display.
Toying around I found that the menu.def is the source of the *.mnu stuff.
Change the contents of this file changes the corr. vsh command display. The
menu.def was automatically created in my resident directory when I tampered
with vsh.
3) How do I enter help text: exec = <>

Help Text Goes Here....

Is the help text set in quotes? Delimited by five (5) hyphens? I tried
various formats via altering the menu.def and all were erroneous.
4) What is the general format for the menu.def? I noticed sections separated
by five +'s (+++++): one is a collection of system-response strings, another
comprises of keywords and another is a collection of command formats
consisting of command menu prompt, fields & description.
5) Is there a way to enter comment statements in the menu.def & *.mnu files?
6) And, are there any more-descriptive documents about tailoring vsh?
...Mahalo

The vsh(C) manual says that you can customize the vsh menus to do special things that you need? Anybody knows how to customize vsh's menus? Thanks, Please e-mail your answer to me.
