MultiConfig Menus

 A feature in DOS 6.0+ supports multiple configuration sets.  You can
 display a menu of options and, depending upon the selection, execute
 different parts of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
              ─────────────────────────────────── Menu Definition Commands
 [MENU]       Identify the beginning of the startup menu.

 MENUITEM=    Define text to display in a menu and identify a block of
              commands to be executed when that option is selected.
 MENUDEFAULT= Set a default option and a time-out value.
 MENUCOLOR=   Set text and background colors for the menu display.
 SUBMENU=     Identify a menu item as a submenu.
              ─────────────────────────────────────────── Related Commands
 INCLUDE=     Execute the commands in another block and resume executing
              the commands in the current block.
 NUMLOCK=     Set the initial state of keyboard NumLock.  This
              facilitates using the arrow keys for making a selection.
 SET          Create an environment variable for possible use in
              AUTOEXEC.BAT or other batch files.
 SWITCHES=    The /N switch disables F8 (Interactive Boot) and F5
              (Clean Boot).  /F tells DOS to skip the normal 2-second
              delay before starting to execute CONFIG.SYS.
              ──────────────────────────────────────────── Syntax Elements
 [COMMON]     Identify a series of commands that will be executed
              regardless of which configuration menu option is chosen
              (Note: Commands above the first menu are considered to be
              part of a [COMMON] block).
 [blockName]  Identify the beginning of a series of CONFIG.SYS commands
              or the start of a submenu.

 CONFIG       An environment variable that gets set to the blockName of
              the selected menu item.  Use this to run specific commands
              in AUTOEXEC.BAT, depending upon the chosen configuration.

 REM or ;     Lines beginning with a semicolon (;) or REM are ignored.

 cmd?=        A question mark (?) before the equal sign (=) sign in any
              CONFIG.SYS command causes DOS to prompt and allow you to
              skip that command.
