One thing you can try is go to www.download.com and look for a utility called dos menu loader 1.62. It is a free program.

Otherwise, to create a menu, create a text (.txt) file that has the look of the menu you want.
Add a line at the end of the autoexec.bat that reads c:\(the name of you .txt file with the extension)
Then, you have to create .bat files, just like a text file, that gives the location of the program you want to run.

i.e. 1. Dos
2. Windows

Create a file called 1.bat that reads c:\dos\command.com
2.bat reads c:\windows\win

etc.
