Using a Menu to display information

Hey,
I've been following the Yes/No Menu tutorial found at http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/744-a-quick-guide-through-menu-making/.
It's a great tutorial but I'm unsure where to go from now. How will I display (different) information depending on the selection that the user makes?
Sorry for the nooby question :)/>/>
Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,

u call the function in an if dialoge and print in response like this (assuming ur using the same names:) )

local a = yN()
if a == true then
print("u choose yes")
else
print("u choose no")
end

Thanks for that, it works great! :)/>/>
I don't suppose you know how to make the menu repeat after the information has been printed rather than exiting out of the program?

well quite i do :)/>/>

just do it in a loop like this:

while true do
local a = yN()
if a == true then
print("u choose yes")
else
print("u choose no")
end
end

and ziinnngg u have a infinite loop of the menu

That's perfect, thanks again!
A final (I Hope) question, is it possible to colour text? I'm thinking it isn't, but I've seen screenshots with some text in green so was curious.
