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.
