Existing "menu" code example?

I'm in the process of making a device that will have a series of settings that I'd like to make adjustable by the user. I planned to simply write the values to eeprom using WRITE and READ so they will be retained when the power is off. That part I've got figured out. smile.gif

What I'm looking for is some example "menu" type code. I will be using the Parallax 16x2 line LCD display and a 4-way joystick w/fire button for the input on the device. I was hoping to find an example of a code structure that would allow the joystick to scroll up and down through menu options and then select/incerment/decrement them.

Before I spend a bunch of time "re-inventing the wheel", does anyone have code like this that I could have a look at? TIA! smile.gif

    Thanks Chris. This will speed things up.
