Is there a good Grub4DOS menu.lst doc/man page?

Hello I've been looking around for hours and I can't find anything that even remotely lists what each command does and how to use them.
Like, for example grub4dos places a default "splashimage" line but I have no idea what should I input in which format and where to place it.
I'd like to know where is the documentation for a menu.lst file, like the one GRUB has: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manua ... c-commands

Thanks.

Hi sir, thanks for the reply, I managed to get it to work after tweaking some stuff.
The XPM file was failing on me all the time but I managed to get it to work :D

All Puppies that have the Grub4dos bootloader Config program.
Start Grub4dos bootloader config.
On main window lower right.
Click on the help button.

That should bring up the manual for Grub4dos in /usr/share/doc/help/C/grub4dosconfig.html.
All info is in it.

There may also be a button for Grub4dos Guide.
That takes you to the guide on the internet.
