Wondering if you guys/girls had any advice on tutorials or texts on writing Menus in C (in a nix enviornment). For example just a simple menu with like 3 options, up/down arrow keys highlight the differ options, and enter takes you to it. If you guys had any examples or knew of any i'd appreciate it, i'm more of a visual learner, but i have no problem with reading a few chapters to find the answerThanks!
Well for adding menus and the like to say a text-mode program, try ncurses
http://web.cs.mun.ca/~rod/ncurses/ncurses.html
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/
ncurses mention that if you combine their library with the menu library, you can make some menus real easily.

Oh nice, never knew about the menu library, thanks a ton
For anyone else looking for this I found the best resource at
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/doc...ming-HOWTO.pdf
it's a PDF file that is perfect in explaining how to make menus, how it does it, etc...
