Well what I have is not an F1-F5 menu, but rather a vertically listed menu with a selector bar.  It's a nice interface if you want your own kind of menu.

Using rom menus for your own options is essentially pointless unless you're doing asap functions or something, in which case the menu format is already well documented.  Jumping to executable assembly when an F key is hit, however, is far less practical or even necessarily possible.

I'm actually not sure what he wanted. I believe that he wanted a ROM call
that would do like the Menu( command in BASIC (in which case Jonah's routine
should work), or he wanted a ROM call that would display the menu that is
displayed when someone pushes the PRGM key. But that seems unlikely. So
Jonah's routine should work. You don't want to use the ROM call for
enu( even if you could find it because you'll have to do icky things like
create temporary strings.
