Each entry can start a program, run a batch file, or execute any DOS command. An entry can also have multiple steps which can include any or all of the possibilities above plus special HDM functions and macros. You can change menu pages by using the and keys or by pressing the through keys to go directly to a page that has menu entries in it. Each page and each entry has a user definable description.

The choices from the menu include: "Menu", "Page", "Security", "Local", "Global", or "Exit".
