## @deftypefn  {} {@var{choice} =} menu (@var{title}, @var{opt1}, @dots{})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{choice} =} menu (@var{title}, @{@var{opt1}, @dots{}@})
## Display a menu with heading @var{title} and options @var{opt1}, @dots{},
## and wait for user input.
##
## If the GUI is running, the menu is displayed graphically using
## @code{listdlg}.  Otherwise, the title and menu options are printed on the
## console.
##
## @var{title} is a string and the options may be input as individual strings
## or as a cell array of strings.
##
## The return value @var{choice} is the number of the option selected by the
## user counting from 1.  If the user aborts the dialog or makes an invalid
## selection then 0 is returned.
##
## This function is useful for interactive programs.  There is no limit to the
## number of options that may be passed in, but it may be confusing to present
## more than will fit easily on one screen.
