                             MENUITEM──Examples
 
The following [menu] block defines a startup menu with two items, Apples and
Oranges:
 
    [menu]
    menuitem=Apples
    menuitem=Oranges
 
When MS-DOS starts, the menu will appear as follows:
 
    MS-DOS Startup Menu
    ===================
 
       1. Apples
       2. Oranges
 
    Enter a choice: 1
 
The following [MENU] block defines a startup menu with three items and
specifies menu text for each item:
 
    [menu]
    menuitem=base_config,Base configuration only
    menuitem=full_config,Normal configuration
    menuitem=net_config,Normal configuration with network
 
In this example, the first item corresponds to the [base_config]
configuration block, the second to the [full_config] block, and the third to
the [net_config] block. When MS-DOS starts, it displays the following menu:
 
    MS-DOS Startup Menu
    ===================
 
       1. Base configuration only
       2. Normal configuration
       3. Normal configuration with network
 
    Enter a choice: 1
