Creating a choose box
Function CHOOSE („°L @)@@IN@@ @CHOOS@) allows the user to create a
choose box in a program. This function requires three arguments:
1. A prompt (a character string describing the choose box)
2. A list of choice definitions {c
1
c
2
… c
n
}. A choice definition c
i
can have
any of two formats:
a. An object, e.g., a number, algebraic, etc., that will be
displayed in the choose box and will also be the result of the
choice.
b. A list {object_displayed object_result} so that object_displayed
is listed in the choose box, and object_result is selected as the
result if this choice is selected.
3. A number indicating the position in the list of choice definitions of the
default choice. If this number is 0, no default choice is highlighted.
