So I was about 17% of the way through putting together a cruddy

my google-ju aint strong enough to find it - could anyone point me at
something I could repurpose? I found a few bits and peices in AAL but
they all seemed tied too heavily to ProDOS.

What I'm after is something that takes as input a table of strings
(there may be anywhere between 4 and 100 strings in that table), and
that will present the strings as options from a menu of some sort, and
then return the index of the selected option. This code will be
running without any DOS behind it, so the only external code it can
call is the Apple II monitor ROM.

I don't really care how the display and navigation works (e.g. whether
it gives each option a letter which becomes the hotkey, or whether you
use the arrow keys to change which option is highlighted and hit enter
to confirm) or what, as long as I can get it working without too much
cussing :-)

Do you care if it is written in applesoft, requires 80-col and
mousetext?
