Command
Type
Purpose
The MENUDEFAULT command allows you to set the default menu item choice
and a time-out value for making a menu selection. This command can only be used
with a menu conÞguration block in the CONFIG.SYS Þle.
Syntax
MENUDEFAULT = blockname [, timeout ]
Remarks
The blockname argument speciÞes the default menu item. The value for blockname
must match a conÞguration block name deÞned elsewhere in your CONFIG.SYS
Þle.
The optional timeout argument represents the number of seconds ROM-DOS will
wait for a user input selection before initializing your system with the default
conÞguration. The timeout period can be set to a value between 0 and 90. If you
select 0, the default menu item will automatically be implemented without a wait.
If you do not enter a timeout value, ROM-DOS will not continue until an Enter key
is pressed.
If your system BIOS does not support a video display directly, like Datalight's
miniBIOS, please refer to the MENUCOLOR command for special instructions.
