The functions above have been superseded by the graphical user interface but are available for use on unix machines and in the DOS version. See :hoc:class:`Graph`.
.. hoc:function:: fmenu
Description:
This is an old terminal based menu system that has been superseded by the
:ref:`hoc_GUI`.
Fmenu creates, displays, and allows user to move within a menu to
select and change
a displayed variable value or to execute a command.
The user can create space for
a series of menus and execute individual menus with each menu consisting of
lists of
variables and commands. Menus can execute commands which call other
menus and in this way a hierarchical menu system can be constructed.
Menus can be navigated by using arrow keys or by typing the first character
of a menu item. To exit a menu, either press the :kbd:`Esc` key, execute the
"Exit" item, or execute a command which has a "stop" statement.
A command item is executed by pressing the Return key. A variable item
is changed by typing the new number followed by a Return.
See the file :file:`$NEURONHOME/doc/man/oc/menu.tex` for a complete description
of this function.
