The menu string is a string in which each menu entry is preceded by a “ | ”
(vertical bar). Thus a menu$ such as:
“Payment Type: | Mastercard | Visa | Amex \ “ + ” | Other | Cash“
has 5 entries; “Mastercard” is the 1st entry and may also be selected by
pressing M. “Cash” is the 4th entry and may also be selected by pressing C.
Note the use of “ \ ” to start a new line (the fact that the string was made by
adding two strings together cannot be detected by Menu%).
The actual menu displayed will look like:
Payment Type: <Mastercard> Visa Amex
Other Cash
The startingitem% is a value of 1 to 10, to indicate wh ich entry should be
selected first. Note that the global EXITOFFSET% is set to the entry which
was selected at exit.
e = Menu% ( startingitem%, menu$ )
