Re: ZCPR3 MENU QUESTION
Hello again Rick,
I have a question regarding ZCPR3 menu's. They don't seem to
behave like the ZCPR2 menu. My hard disk system has several
named directories, each with its own menu.cpr. Under ZCPR2,
I could invoke 'CD newdir' from the menu, and the new menu.cpr
in newdir would take over.
Under ZCPR3 I have a problem. I renamed menu.cpr to menu.mnu.
While executing menu.com, the menu is displayed as before. But,
when I ask for 'CD newdir:', it says its going to the new directory
(message from CD), but give's me the original menu, not the menu
in newdir. Also, I don't seem to remain in 'newdir'. Doing ^C
after the 'CD newdir:' command, I'm still in the original directory.
What is the correct way under ZCPR3 to move from one menu to another.
I tried the command 'cd newdir:;menu' which works, but installs one
shell over the other, i.e., ^c from newdir menu returns me back to
original menu, not >prompt. Therefore, the stack will probably
overflow if I move freely from menu to menu? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Doug.
