Abstract
When the MS-DOS is not installed from an FDD or an HDD but is installed from a built-in DOS ROM arranged in a memory space in which bank access to the computer main body can be performed, at the time the system power is turned on, a menu display processing program stored in the DOS ROM is executed by the DOS. Upon execution of the program, the arrangement of menu icons can be arbitrarily changed on the menu screen.
