Notes: for "Pick" functions
  One returns a Byte and the other returns a Char - use one
  or the other;

  Parameters:
  Left   = the left side of the menu list (left side of window+1)
  Top    = the top of the menu list       (top of window+1)
  Bottom = the bottom of the menu list;   (bottom of window-1)
