14 - Menus

To allow easy management of information by users not needing to explore the complexities of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) a simple menuing system is provided, allowing versatile document access and searching. A plain-text file is interpreted by the server, providing a uniform and functional menu to the client. This plain-text file may be edited on any platform (PC, VMS, Unix) and then just placed into the data area.

A menu is distinguished from other files by its type extension, .MENU (or .MNU for "8.3" MS-DOS compliance).

The "WASD Hypertext Management Primer" provides a complete description on the use of menus.
