Firstly, I know what are Functions/Methods, but I find GOTO much easier
to follow (and also more powrfull, because I can RETURN wherever I want
- in GOSUB, and Functions, you always return to the point you started
from)

Secondly, this is great idea, to put entire menu in one long string. I
wouldn't have thought of that !! Thanks !

I had idea (as described in original post at #2) to write code something
like this:
------------------------------------------------
class Mymenus

  attr_acessor :over100variablesIintendtoUse

  def initialize
  #initialize every variable
  end

  def menu_00      #root menu
    system("cls")
    puts "Select something:"
    puts
    puts "1 - open menu_1"
    puts "2 - open menu_2"
    puts "3 - open menu_3"
    puts "4 - open menu_4"
    puts "q - Quit"
  end

  def menu_1
  system("cls")
  puts "enter choice:"
  puts
  puts "1 - open menu_11"
  puts "2 - open menu_12"
  puts "3 - open menu_13"
  puts "4 - open menu_14"
  puts "b - Back"
  end

  def menu_2
  system("cls")
  puts "enter choice:"
  puts
  puts "1 - open menu_21"
  puts "2 - open menu_22"
  puts "b - Back"
  end

... etc ... etc
---------------------------------------------------------
... and then probably put loop, starting with root menu, when you select
number, you call new method (submenu) ... but your way seems easier, and
with less methods involved
