I found one error in Terry's code...
Change to...
Other than that, it looks good! 
Basically the IDE uses this pcopy method for all of the drop-down menus. Things that take very creative solutions are timers for INPUT and _MESSAGEBOX. These pause your program until a reply is made. The way around that is to make two programs. Program 1 calls the second _MESSAGEBOX program via a SHELL statement. When the timer in program 1 runs out, the message box is terminated by a SHELL to TASKKILL. You also need a small database to communicate, or a TCP/IP connection. _SCREENHIDE, Win32 AP minimization, etc. can be used to make it seem like only one program is running.
