Different beast. It was a menu system for DOS that was popular in the late
80's till Windows got popular. It totally rocks! I'd forgotten about it,
and am now going to have to dig up one of my copies to put on the Dauphin
DTR-1 I'm setting up as a DOS box.

Basically you start with a selection of items, and when you select one it
allows you to either run an app or go to another menu (not sure how deep you
can go on menus). Has at least some sort of password protect on stuff, as I
recall though not terribly secure.
