A blockname can be up to 70 characters long but cannot include the following characters: \ / . ; = [ ].menutext - Indicates the text you want displayed for this menu line. You can use up to 70 characters, including spaces. If you do not specify the menu text, DOS will display the blockname in the menu.
Example
If you wanted to create a menu of options to load from the CONFIG.SYS file on startup, you could include a SUBMENU command in place of a MENUITEM command within the main menu. For example, you might want to open a submenu called DEVICES when the third option in the main menu is selected. To do this you would enter the following[startup]
menuitem=minimum, Start with Minimum Configuration
menuitem= maximum, Start with Maximum Configuration
submenu=devices, Load Devices
The menu options defined in the menu block named DEVICES would be displayed when option three of the main menu was selected. You could return to the main menu by pressing the Backspace key.
