Library /sys$common/syshlp/basichelp.hlb Graphics, SET Statements, INITIAL_CHOICE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The SET INITIAL CHOICE statement allows you to  specify  items  to  be
  displayed  in  a  menu  as  well as supply an initial response for the
  user.

  Example

  DIM STRING menu_items(2)
  DECLARE LONG language
  menu_items(0) = "BASIC"
  menu_items(1) = "PASCAL"
  menu_items(2) = "C"
  SET INITIAL CHOICE , LIST menu_items           &
                     : 1
  LOCATE CHOICE language
