Command: menucolor
MENUCOLOR makes the config.sys / fdconfig.sys coloured.
Use MENUCOLOR before the config.sys / fdconfig.sys menu command to

Comments:
Use MENUCOLOR before the config.sys / fdconfig.sys menu command, to
create a full screen menu which supports the arrow cursor keys.
If you do not use MENUCOLOR, the menu will not be full screen, so some
of the BIOS, bootloader and kernel init messages (list of drives, version
info...) stays visible.
MENUCOLOR is a command internal to kernel.sys and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
menucolor 15,1 changes the colour of config.sys to white text on blue
background
