I wrote a presentation on CI programming that can be viewed on Jazz at:
http://jazz.external.hp.com/papers/SolSymposium_01/CIprogramming/index.htm
(watch for line wrap).

And here is a code fragment that may help get you started:

LOGONUDC
OPTION LOGON, NOBREAK
# This UDC is the system logon UDC.  It displays a menu of choices,
# execute the user's choice and reprompt until the user selects 'exit'
#
# what ever initializing you need to do here...
#
# Display the menu
echo
echo  (A) MANMAN
echo  (B) QUIZ
echo  (C) DOWNLOAD
echo  (E) exit
echo
# prompt / read loop
while setvar(reply, ups(input("Please enter one of the letters above: ")))
<> "E" do
   if reply = "A" then
      # execute MANMAN...
   elseif reply = "B" then
      # execute QUIZ...
   elseif reply = "C" then
      # execute DOWNLOAD...
   else
      echo Invalid reply "!reply", expected "A", "B", "C" or "E"
   endif
endwhile
...


Hope this helps,
