The first step is to draw the background. The graphics page has some information on this. I would suggest starting with the StorePic and RecallPic method for pictures.

Once you have your background, you will need to write the text and keypress actions. For this you will need to use the Text() command, as well as GetKey and Repeat or While. The easiest way to get started is to have the user press the number which corresponds to the menu option they want. This avoids a lot of the complexity with having a marker indicating which option is currently selected. The basic idea is that you use GetKey inside of a loop until a key is pressed, then do something different based on which key was actually pressed.
