menus can have the same interface.

Mouse support.
Marks submenus for easy identification.
Allows top and bottom wrap around.
Can logout from menu.

Can use environment variable 'MN' for menu name
allowing all users to restart menu with 'MCMENU'.
Can disable escape from menu.

Differences from Novell menu:
No sorting of menu items, they appear in the order in file.
Ignores Novell colour and location entries
everything is standard colour and centred.
Limited to 4000 lines in menu file.
Limited to 21 items per menu 200 sub menus.
New features in MCMenu V 1.520
Return to old menu selection option. Allows the menu to
re-enter at the old location { like Novells }
Application Logging option. This logs the item and user
name when programs are launched.
Menu Reload option. This allows the last command to be the
end of the batch file, rather than re-running the menu.
This improves use of the LOGOUT command and chaining
to other menus.
