Free Vision can do just that for you. Obviously you can search the
Internet for DOS type menu interfaces [loads of such examples are still
around], but that would require low level console codes and
interpretation. Free Vision does it already for you - and the end-result
should look much prettier. I suggest you grab a copy of a Turbo Pascal
manual (they are freely available on the Internet now - Borland released
them) or search for some Turbo Vision example programs/code. Or even
look at the FPC Text IDE as a working example (but that's a rather
complex example to study).

I did a quick search, here is a simple Turbo Vision tutorial. It will
apply exactly as is to Free Vision as well.
