OWBasic uses two menus to select the basic program to be executed.

The file menu shows the memos in the selected program category and allows to select one to start.

The program menu is a user defined menu with programs. Put your favorite programs into this menu to start them quickly. Programs in the program menu can be located in any category. INCLUDEs have to be in the same category or in the INCLUDE category.

The option menu allows you to configure the program menu. Each program menu has 8 places. In the main menu each place can take a program or a submenu. In submenus only programs are possible. Select one place and decide to put a program or a submenu there or to delete the previously defined entry.
If you have selected "Program" you are asked for a category first. Select one and after that the memo in this category which contains the program.
If you have selected ""Submenu" you are asked for a name, if not already defined earlier. The following selection allows you to configure the entries of the submenu or to change the submenu name. After configuring all entries go back to the options menu with "save". In the options menu you may select, to start OWBasic with the file menu or with the program menu. In both cases you may switch to the other menu later too.
