ok, mike so you want to make a menu im guessing? These commands will help you out with a text menu:

text xposition,yposition,"insert string here"
-This command will print text on your screen at the coordinates you give it, and it will print what you put in quotes.

set cursor x,y
-This command positions your cursor at the position you give it on the screen. This will help with the print command, because when you print something it puts it where your cursor is.

note: most screens are set at 640x480, so positioning at 320,240 would start the text in the middle of the screen, and so forth.

Do
-starts a loop(if you dont know what a loop is sry, just tell me ill explain)

Loop
-ends a loop


so try this


Im sry if this is to simple for you, just tell me
