I am developing a simple launcher program and want to be able to move a inverse highlight or similar (call it a cursor) over selections and then hit return for selection. Basically the same as ADTPro. Can anyone point me to some AppleSoft code that I could modify to achieve this. I am sure there was something in an A+ magazine issue back in the day.

It's a fine work of art. Btw, has anyone identified any of the houses or
places used at the start of each chapter? Here is a clue: some are in the
U.S. and the rest are in France. Most but not all of the U.S. locations are
in the author's home state.
