Text
The User switch adds a custom menu item to the PWB Run menu.
User: title,path,[[arg]],[[out]],[[dir]],[[help]],[[prompt]],[[ask]],[[back]],[[key]]
If any argument to the User switch contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
title
Menu title for the program to be added. No other command can have the same title. Prefix the character to be highlighted as the access key with a tilde (~) or ampersand (&). If you do not specify an access key, the first letter of the title is used.
path
Full path of the program. If the program is on the PATH environment variable, you can specify just the filename of the program.
arg
Command-line arguments for the program. To pass the name of the current file to the program, specify %s in the command line. Default: no arguments.
out
Name of a file to store program output. If no file is specified and the program is run in the foreground, the current file in PWB receives the output. Default: no output file.
dir
Current directory for the program. Default: PWB's current directory.
help
Text that appears on the status bar when the menu item is selected. Default: no help text.
prompt
Determines if PWB prompts for command-line arguments. The value of arg is the default response. Specify Y to prompt or any other character to run the program without prompting for arguments. Default: no prompt.
ask
Determines if PWB is to prompt for a keystroke before returning to PWB. Specify Y to prompt or any other character to return to PWB immediately after running the program. Default: return without prompting.
back
Determines if the program is run in the background under a multithreaded environment. Specify Y to run the program in the background or any other character to run it in the foreground. If you run the program in the background, you must also specify output. Default: run the program in the foreground.
key
A single digit from 1 to 9, specifying a key from ALT+F1 to ALT+F9 as the shortcut key for the command. Default: no shortcut key.
By default, no custom menu commands are defined.
The User switch setting
User : "~Print", XPRINT, "/2 %s", LPT1, , \
"Print the current file with XPRINT", y, n, n, 8
specifies the following custom Run menu command:
| Option | Description |
| title | The menu title is Print with the accelerator P. |
| path | The XPRINT program is expected to be on the PATH. |
| arg | The default command line specifies the /2 option and the current filename. |
| out | The program output is redirected to the LPT1 device. |
| dir | The XPRINT program is run in the current directory. |
| help | The Help line is Print the current file with XPRINT. |
| prompt | PWB prompts for additional arguments. |
| ask | PWB doesn't prompt before returning from XPRINT. |
| back | The XPRINT program is to run in the foreground. |
| key | ALT+F8 runs the XPRINT program after prompting. |
The backslash at the end of the first line of the definition is a TOOLS.INI line continuation.
