Menu builder script for MS-DOS?

Hi, All, I'm trying to help a friend out with a role-playing game prop, and I have a memory of some tool from a number of years back that can accept a set of scripted menu items and responses and build an MS-DOS BAT script that will "implement" the menu structure. For example - you'd start off with a top level menu with, say, 4 items. Typing 1-4 would take you to one of four sub-menus, etc., until the end "nodes" are reached. The end-nodes could be a launching point for a DOS program (optional), or just a page of informational text. Does this sort of menu generator script ring any bells with anyone? I've googled for three days and have found all sorts of tutorials for how to craft scripted menus (for DOS and UNIX), and I could easily write my own set of menus from scratch in any number of system script languages; the end user in this particular case is not a programmer, so I'm trying to find something that will let him write the informational text for the end-nodes and the menu items to lead to them, but have a tool auto-generate the structure around it. Thanks for any pointers, suggestions or keywords to help my search. -ethan
