Table-driven ring menus

We're modifying our menu structure for our homegrown Informix code. Instead of creating a ring menu with all various front-end programs linked into a single executable, we're looking to split out the various front-ends into separate executables, then create a table-driven menu structure. While we can make a 'drop down' style menu relatively easy, we would like to keep the ring menu structure for our user community. Any way to create a table-driven ring menu? I figure that someone may have already asked this question, but I could find no reference in the newsgroup archive. TIA John Carlson Informix DBA / system analyst WH Smith, Inc.
