ENDMENU
Offers a menu of options to the user. Each option jumps to a particular
label when it is chosen. E.g.
MENU “Choose action”
“Connect to server” GOTO logon
“Upload file” GOTO sendfile
“Download file” GOTO downl
“Exit” EXIT
ENDMENU
creates a menu with the heading “Choose action” from which the user can
select one of four actions (e.g. “Upload file” etc). The script then carries out
the command next to the menu item, e.g. jumping to “sendfile” for the
“Upload file” menu item. Menu items can only be followed by
GOTO
or
EXIT
commands.
