Check out the SABRE menu program.  It's not inexpensive, but it offers
features that I think you are looking for.

BTW:  Just a note of warning.  Because of NOVELLS 4K blocking factor, menus
that are made of small batchfiles that call one another, are devistating for
the server.  You fill up the servers cache memory will these little menu
programs, and push the real files out.  Since NOVELL uses an algorithm
that leaves the most used files in cache, these little batch files could
hog server memory, resulting in lower overall performance, depending on
how you have things configured.
