To Create a Menu of Options 

The MENU command file provides a mechanism for running two programs,
DBREVIEW and DBUPDATE. The user's response of 1 or 2 performs the proper
program and prompts the user for another selection.  A response of 0 to
exit the routine ends the WHILE loop and ends the command file execution.
