Before your main loop you'll want to load the image,

load image "popup.bmp",1

then put the image on screen

paste image 1,0,0
sync

It helps if the image is the same size as the screen resolution, although if it isn't then you can centre it on the screen and it shouldn't look too bad.
Then to get it to wait for a keypress or mouse click, use this:

while scancode()=0
if mouseclick()>0 then exit
endwhile

Then continue with the menu screen code.

You have to load a bitmap, paste the bitmap, then make a sprite from it. I am using sprites for my battle system, so I can put up some code later today.
As for clicking on it, I would look into mouse coorinates, if, then and while commands as well. Since its almost time to go I cant go into much detail, but I am sure someone would be glad to help you with MOUSE COORDINATES.
I will post up how to make a sprite and position it later tonight, around 2:30 EST.
Just for a general idea for the mouse:
while (the mouse is over your sprite)
if mouseclick()>0 then gosub menu2
endwhile

menu2:
do
menu stuff here
return
loop

also look into functions and arrays.
I hoped this helped

for your .wav problem, dunno about pro, read your commands, if you have them, or read the help file under commands. Research!

No prob, now as I promised (which I forgot about) here is how to make a sprite and put it down:


Ok, this will load a bitmap, make it a sprite, set the options of the sprite (see db manual for more info), strech the sprite, and reset and show the sprite. Tested in DBv1.13.
I hope this helps,
