    you can try something like this

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #define QUIT 5
    
    int menu( void );
    int addition( void );
    
    int main() 
    {
    	int choice = 0;
    	while ( choice != QUIT )
    	{
    		choice = menu();
    	
    		if ( choice == 1 )		
    			addition();
    		/* etc etc */
    	}
    	printf( "Exiting\n" );
    	
    	return 0;
    }
    
    int addition( void )
    {
     /* do addition function */
    }
    
    
    int menu( void )
    {
    	int option = 0;
    
    	do 
    	{
    		printf( "************************\n" );
    		printf( "* MENU *		*\n" );
    		printf( "* *			*\n" );
    		printf( "* 1. ADD 		*\n" );
    		printf( "* 2. SUBTRACT 		*\n" );
    		printf( "* 3. MULTIPLY 		*\n" );
    		printf( "* 4. DIVIDE 		*\n" );
    		printf( "* 5. QUIT 		*\n" );
    		printf( "* *			*\n" );
    		printf( "************************\n" );
    		printf( "Enter option: " );
    		scanf( "%d", &option );
    	}
    	while ( option < 1 || option > 5 );
    
    	return option;
    }
    you can finish it off i think..
    hope it helps, gl.

    Code:
    puts("
    *********************
    * MENU *
    * *
    * 1. ADD *
    * 2. SUBTRACT *
    * 3. MULTIPLY *
    * 4. DIVIDE *
    * 5. QUIT *
    * *
    *********************
    ");
    There ya go.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Heh, you don't need start to looping to print-out this menu, you'll need looping for better things, not this
