i'm doing somethings somewhat similar...  i would recommend a script
file for the menus and text and colours and that with an .ex file to
do all the routines...  what i did was in the script file, it was
normal text, but the ; (semi-colon) was a special character so
whenever it encountered a semi-colon it would look to the characters
right after that to see what to do...  for example, ;c04,06 might
change the colour to foreground colour 4 and background colour 6 and
(in my program) ;B and ;b would turn the 'bold' on and off...  just a
though :>
