The header can be changed on an existing menu with the (H)eader Option. DEFAULT MENU: The default menu will be displayed when you hit the key when prompted for a menu option. Typically MENU 1 is the default menu. MORE HELP IS AVAILABLE... The following options refer to the menu edit options at the bottom of the screen.

Your response to that question is then inserted into the ACTION command line. A command line that requires a question to be asked should have a "$" sign followed by a number from one to six ($2) as part of the ACTION. The cor- responding question (e.g. Question 2) will be displayed and the response inserted into the command line in place of the $number symbol. This screen allows you to create and edit the six prompting questions that can be asked. Each question can have up to two lines of text to describe the required response. The two lines are labeled EXPLANATION and QUESTION, with the idea that the first line will explain the requirement and the second line will actually ask the question. Use the forward and back field keys to edit the questions. Press the key to return to the main menu edit screen. PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE...  {U454"54(54.544[5B=_CB YN8+2EDIT WHICH QUESTION?
