2.0 OVERVIEW
The M&C shell (command line interface) is analogous to a typical computer
operating system shell in MS-DOS or UNIX. The menus can be thought of as a
hierarchical "directory." The contents of a menu are its menu items. A menu item
is executed by first changing to its parent menu (or Path) and then issuing the
command.
There are, generally speaking, four types of menu items:
1. Commands - executed to perform a function, navigate menu hierarchy, list
unit status, etc. Example: keyword “LS” lists items in the current menu.
2. Editable items (parameters) - either display or edit a parameter value such as
frequency.
3. Submenus - executed to change from the current menu to the desired
submenu.
4. Read Only - Calculated or predefined status information.
