Heres a little Text User Interface! If you use this program and like it then
tell me! All it has is four routines: WinD,WindMen,Shade, and Menu. Here it is:

Ok heres what this means. The syntax for WinD is :
WinD(Col1,Row1,Col2,Row2,ForgroundColor,BackGroundColor);
When you put in the forground color make sure it is atleast 7.. This is because
when the routine prints the SHADOW it prints it in the low intensity version of
the color... so make sure when you give a color there it's high intensity.
Ok now for MENU. This is a function. what you do is load Item[1..23] with a
string. These should all be equal in length or your menu will look really
ragged...Ok call menu like this:
ByteVar:=Menu(NumItems,LightbarFG,LightbarBG,NormalFG,normalBG,StartX,StartY);
And bytevar will equal item# or 255 if ESC was pressed...
Or:
ByteVar:=WindMen(NumItems,LBFG,LBBG,NFG,NBG,WindowFG,WindowBG,StartX,StartY);
All this is a combination between window and menu. It will draw a window
around your menu items :)...
And for the last one:
Shade(FG,BG,CHAR);
Just use it like to shade in magenta with a green background <YUCK!> do
Shade(13,2,'±');

If you use it please give me credit and maybe a registered version of the
program?
