Hi all, im trying to add a line of viewable text to my config.sys line for my boot menus so I can see which menu im using here is an example:

[MENU]
submenu=EMS, Start PC with EMS Memory
submenu=NOEMS, Start PC Without EMS Memory
submenu=CONVENT, Start PC With Conventional Memory

[EMS]
echo EMS Memory Selected
submenu=1CTMOUSE, Start PC with Cute Mouse
submenu=1MOUSE, Start PC With Mouse.com
submenu=1BMOUSE, Start PC With BBBMouse.com

Etc

I have tried "echo EMS Memory Selected" but I get an error so echo isnt right.

Hi under [MENU] you need to put your items as menu item= Then you will be able to select them, submenu= will be used if you have more than 1 menu and you want to switch to either menu in which you would label your menus as [MENU1] and so on, then you have to go down under all of that and put the commands that config.sys needs to load at startup.

[MENU]
device=ctmouse.com (and whatever switches)

autoexec.bat is for all other commands

If you need be send me a message and I will send you some examples of what your config should look like
