Obsolete Text Menus

fmenu()
Description:

This is an old terminal based menu system that has been superseded by the GUI Look And Feel.

Fmenu creates, displays, and allows user to move within a menu to select and change a displayed variable value or to execute a command.

The user can create space for a series of menus and execute individual menus with each menu consisting of lists of variables and commands. Menus can execute commands which call other menus and in this way a hierarchical menu system can be constructed. Menus can be navigated by using arrow keys or by typing the first character of a menu item. To exit a menu, either press the Esc key, execute the “Exit” item, or execute a command which has a “stop” statement. A command item is executed by pressing the Return key. A variable item is changed by typing the new number followed by a Return.

See the file $NEURONHOME/doc/man/oc/menu.tex for a complete description of this function.
