MENU SPECIFICATION via CHOOSE CHOOSE menu text either originates on the CHOOSE command line, or in a file whose name is specified on the command line. CHOOSE *** MAIN MENU ***^Windows^WordPerfect^Backup Note that the CHOOSE command contained title text (*** MAIN MENU ***) terminated by a carat (^) which is followed by the text of three menu selections separated by carats. Up to 17 menu selections may be used. A DOS command line is limited to about 125 characters which limits the size of the CHOOSE menu that may be presented directly from a command line. When a CHOOSE menu exceeds the command line capacity, simply place the menu text in a file and specify the file name on the command line. CHOOSE menus are displayed centered, overlaying any screen text. That is, CHOOSE does not clear the screen before constructing a menu. When a selection is made, CHOOSE restores the overlayed display text before exiting to DOS. Therefore, use CLS (before CHOOSE) when you prefer a blank menu background.
