[comp.sys.novell] Menus & Netware Menus

I have 2 questions about netware menus:-

1. Is there a limit on the length of a command line?  For example, the line
cat m:\user\backup\lists\packages m:\user\backup\lists\special > include
gets truncated by Novell when placed into it's batch file.  I can hack around
it, but is this a Novell limitation on the length of a command line?

2. How do you include !logout in an option with other commands?  The following:-
Test option
   echo Hello
   pause
   !logout

seems only to log me out, rather than echo, pause and then log out.  Is there a
way around this?

As an aside, are there any good public domain menu utilities available?  I would
really appreciate knowing if there are, and where to find them.

Cheers,
+Mark.
