menu system

menu system

[Eric James DeArment]

I'm trying to create a menu system for a FreeBSD box we have here at EFN
(for them newbies :).  I've got the main part that actually displays
the menu and accepts the user's selection all finished, but I'm still
trying to figure out how I would write the package that contains all of
the system-level functions that I would use to open Pine, NN, Lynx,
Telnet, FTP, xinit, to go the the prompt, and to log out.  I know that I
can use the interfaces.c file, but I'm not sure what I would do from
there.  Anyone who can help me?

Here's a better explanation of what I wanted to know about the menu that
I'm writing.  I just wanted to know how I could write the procedures for
accessing Unix functions like Telnet, Lynx, Gopher, X-Windows and logout
through a menu written in Ada.  I need to know this because I'm creating a
guest menu for a FreeBSD box we have here at EFN.

						Thanks in advance,

P.S.-I'm writing this because a lot of people misconstrued my last message
as me wondering how to create the actual menu, which I know how to do
already :)
