CHOOSE Creates a choose box, which is a box containing a list of
options from which the user chooses one. Each option is
numbered, 1 through n. The result of the choose

CHOOSE variable_name; title; option
1
; option

:
where variable_name is the name of a variable for
storing a default option number, title is the text displayed
in the title bar of the choose box, and option

...option
n
are the options listed in the choose box.
By pre-storing a value into variable_name you can
specify the default option number, as shown in the
