Hello I would like some help with a feature of turing that I have not has to deal with before.

My game starts with a menu with the selections

New Game
Load Game
Multiplayer TCP/IP
Options
Info
Exit

The menu uses about that spacing. the background is black, what I would like to get help with is I need it so when the player presses the Up arrow a Yellow box appears highlighting the word. I also need it so when they hit the down key the box moves down to the next word. I will include my source code if it is need for help.

MAKE SURE TO CLICK NEWGAME.T to run the game!!!!

Have a variable (integer) store the number of the currently selected menu. If the up arrow is pushed, check if the value is at a maximum. If it is, move it to it's minimum. Otherwise, move it up one. Similarly for the down key: if the down key is pushed, check if the value is at a minimum. If it is, move it up to it's maximum. Else, move it down one.

The value of this variable determines which menu is selected, and therefore determines where to draw your yellow box.
