This isn't very good advice:
But none the less...

BlueIDE ( you can search the forums for a current link )
has a menu MACRO/Wizard. Without the intention of being rude,
it is not a very robust macro. But it should suffice as
a tutorial. [DO NOT LOAD YOUR CURRENT CODE], Just play
with the wizard as a "new project".

Complete the Wizard with some basic ideas,
and read/understand the code it generates.

It should get you started.

Furthermore, I am just N0Ob myself, and while asking about
"menus" may seem specific, it is IMHO rather general. Menus
can range from very complicated to very general, be in-game,
or above-game. I would imagine the lack of response is
in some way releated to this issue. Once you have some idea
about the specifics regarding your menu, I am certain you can
ask specific questions, and expect a better, more verbose
response.

I sincerely hope I have been helpful.

sync on
sync rate 60

REM << main loop
repeat

REM << draw box as a visual button
ink rgb(255,0,0),0
box 350,275,450,325

REM << see if mouse is over button
if mousex() => 350 and mousex() =< 450 and mousey() => 275 and mousey() =< 325
   REM << check for a left mouseclick when mouse is over button(if true, print "hello" below box
   if mouseclick() = 1
      ink rgb(255,255,255),0
      center text 400,350,"hello"
   endif

Newsletter 30, tutorial on self-contained code which uses the coding of a menu as an example.

Because it's self-contained, you can use the include file in your project, and it will just work. It's a very simple system, but you could enhance it as you see fit.

It's as simple as MakeMenu(), MakeOption() for each option, and ShowMenu()!
