Customizing ED

You can customize ED with commands that change the menus and function key setup. These commands can be entered individually within ED. They can also be saved as a script, such as S:Ed-startup, or as a file specified with the WITH argument. To execute the file from within ED, use the Run File (Esc,R,F) extended command. For information about changing the function keys, see page 12-14.

Set Menu Item	Esc,S,I	Defines the menu headings and items. There are 120 menu item slots ranging from 0 to 119. The slot type identifies the contents of the slot and is a number from 0 to 4. The 0 slot type must be the last defined slot. Do not create a menu without items; if you specify a menu heading, include menu items after it. See page 12-20 for the syntax of the Set Menu Item command and a table of the slot types.
Enable Menu	Esc,E,M	Enables menus. You must follow the Set Menu Item commands with EM to enable the menu commands. See page 12-21 for an example script using the Enable Menu command.
