advanced CONFIG.SYS processing

a new command ECHO
ECHO does ECHO it's argument (surprised ?-) and is executed at 
the time the DEVICE= lines are executed. 
use it similar to

	ECHO loading driver 1
	device=Driver1.sys
	ECHO driver1 successfully loaded





the following advanced config.sys processing options are available:

normal
	FILES=20
	DEVICE=MyNetWorkDriver.sys

'?' - ALWAYS ask if a single line shall be executed

	FILES=20
	?DEVICE=MyNetWorkDriver.sys


'!' - NEVER ask if a single line shall be executed, even if single stepping

	!FILES=20
	!DOS=HIGH,UMB
	!BUFFERS=30
	DEVICE=MyNetWorkDriver.sys



configuration management - you may compose several configurations,
using following special commands:

MENU  
MENU  select your configuration
MENU  
MENU  use (0) for basic configuration
MENU  use (1) for CDROM operation
MENU  use (2) for NETWORK configuration
MENU  
MENUDEFAULT=0,1				( configuration 0, wait 1 second)


1?  rem CDROM
1?  device=CDROM.SYS

2?  rem NETWORK
2?  device=MyNetworkDriver.SYS


Although this is definitively worse then MSDOS menuing possibilities,
IMHO it's better then nothing



thus my config.sys now looks like


!files=20
!dos=high,umb
!break=off
!buffers=30
!screen=0x12
!lastdrive=z

MENU
MENU
MENU 0 - SoftIce+HIMEM+Network (default)
MENU 1 - SoftIce+HIMEM
MENU 2 - HIMEM+EMM386
MENU
MENUDEFAULT=0,0


0? DEVICE=C:\NUMEGA\S-ICE.EXE /TRA 3000 /SYM 400
0? DEVICE=himem.exe
0? DEVICE=UMBPCI.SYS

0?device=c:\ntclient\ifshlp.sys
0?device=c:\ntclient\protman.dos /i:c:\ntclient
0?device=c:\ntclient\dm9pci.dos
0?device=c:\ntclient\ndishlp.sys
0?device=c:\ntclient\nemm.dos
0?device=c:\ntclient\tcpdrv.dos



1? DEVICE=C:\NUMEGA\S-ICE.EXE /TRA 3000 /SYM 400
1? DEVICE=himem.exe
1? DEVICE=UMBPCI.SYS



2? DEVICE=himem.exe
2? DEVICE=emm386.exe NOEMS


rem DEVICE=CDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000

shellhigh=a:\command.com /p /e:512 /MSG
