          INTRODUCTION
          
          EasyMenu has  features you can "grow" into.  You need not use ALL
          of them at once, however!  First, edit menus to run your existing
          software.   Try the  extra features  after you're all set up.  Be
          sure to read the HELP information.
          
          Should you desire changes, do send in your suggestions.
          
          Sincerely,

          AUTOEXEC  -  start-up options
          
          
          The file  AUTOEXEC.BAT will run commands for you at boot-up time.

          AUTOEXEC A MENU TITLE:
          
          Run any  MENU item  at boot-up.   Add  MENU name  and TITLE  # to
          AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
          
          Syntax:   CD \EASYMENU
                    EASYMENU menuname item#

          CONTROL   -  for supervisors.
          
          
          The CONTROL.EXE  Utility Program  allows you, as a supervisor, to
          restrict access to the built-in CONTROL menu.
          
          Syntax:    CONTROL option
          
          Example:  CONTROL on        EasyMenu (tm) displays a CONTROL      
                                      menu.
          Example:  CONTROL off       EasyMenu (tm) will NOT display the    
                                      CONTROL menu.
          Example:  CONTROL display   EasyMenu (tm) displays User File.
          
          CONTROL.EXE must be on the same DRIVE as EasyMenu (tm).
          
          PURPOSE:  let supervisor control access to EasyMenu (tm)
          Controls.
          
          To run from a Menu, with Password protection, use the
          PASSWORD.EXE Utility:
          
               Example:  TITLE >Turn on CONTROL menu
                              C>PASSWORD
                              C>CONTROL ON
                              C>

          then:
               
               1 - An alarm will sound.
               2 - The message "Access DENIED" will display.
               3 -  The PC  keyboard will  be LOCKED and the system must be
               powered down and rebooted.

          COMMON password.  Your password is saved.  Each time you give the
          password, you  have the  option of  changing or removing password
          protection.
               
               Example:  TITLE >Lotus 123
                              C>PASSWORD
                              C>CD \LOTUS
                              C>123
          
          SPECIFIC PASSWORD.   Give a password to be used with the PASSWORD
          command.
               
               EXAMPLE:  TITLE >Password / Lock station for coffee break.
                              C>PASSWORD IBM
          
          You may  also use the TILDE ~ character as a simple code routine,
          which will shift each letter by one.  The password is still IBM
          
               EXAMPLE:  TITLE >Password / Lock station for coffee break.
                              C>PASSWORD ~JCN

               C>EASYMENU LOCKUP   will lock  the keyboard  and  display  a
               message telling the user to power down.  Does not reboot.
               
               
               C>EASYMENU REBOOT   will simply  reboot the system.  This is
               identical to a power-on start or pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL.
               
               
               C>EASYMENU AUTOEXEC will reboot your system and use the file

               C>EASYMENU CONFIG   will reboot your system and use the file

               C>EASYMENU AUTOEXEC CONFIG  will do both of the above.
          
          
          
          Edit AUTOEXEC.NEW  and  CONFIG.NEW  from the INFO menu.
          
          If these  files do  not  exist,  the  original  AUTOEXEC.BAT  and
          CONFIG.SYS files will be used.

          UTILITIES -  for the Keyboard
          
          
          
          These short  programs allow  you to  control the  keyboard from a
          menu or  batch file.   Keyboards  with LED lights on the CapsLock
          and NumLock keys sometimes get out of sync with the true status.
          
          
          NUMLOCK
          
               NUMON.COM and NUMOFF.COM
               - "flips" the NumLck key on or off.
          
          CAPSLOCK
          
               CAPSON.COM and CAPSOFF.COM
               - "flips" the CapsLock key on or off.
          
          
          SHIFT-PRTSC
          
               PRTSCOFF.COM and PRTSCON.COM
               - disable/enable the Shift-PrtSc function.
          
          
          CTRL-ALT-DEL
          
               NOBOOT.COM and YESBOOT.COM
               - disable/enable CTRL-ALT-DEL reboot.
               
          
          Run NOBOOT from AUTOEXEC.BAT, before loading SideKick.
          YESBOOT will restore the CTRL-ALT-DEL function.
          
          Use EASYMENU REBOOT functions, even if NOBOOT is loaded.
          
          
          NOTES:   These files  were INSTALLed in the ROOT directory - that
          way, they  are available  when you press D for DOS.  YOU MAY MOVE
          THEM (to a PATHed sub-directory) IF YOU WISH!
