[Tutor] newbie programmer

[Dustin Phillips]

I checked out the useless python website and it is great, it has some really
interesting challenges that I can practice with.  I am attempting to take on
one of these challenges and a question immediately came up.  I am trying to
create a dos based menu driven application, but I was wondering what is the
most efficient way to implement a menu system?  I started out using several
print statements, but I plan on linking the main menu to submenus and so on
which will get very cumbersome.  How can I make the menus more modular?
Should I save the menu entries into a dictionary?
