I have written a script, bdate, which gets called at the bottom of
/etc/bcheckrc. It's not a menu, but it works fine for us.

--------------[ /etc/bdate ]------------
dig2()
{
	if [ $1 -lt 10 ]
	then digits="0"`expr $1 + 0`
	else digits=$1
	fi
}

TZ=DNT-1DST
export TZ

echo "\nSETTING System Date And Time\n"

ls -l > /dev/null; echo "\007\c"
ls -l > /dev/null; echo "\007\c"
ls -l > /dev/null; echo "\007\c"

echo "\nThe current date and time is : `date` \n"

echo "Is the above information correct?\c" 
echo "\tEnter \"y\" for yes or \"n\" for no : \007\c"

read answer
if [ $answer = n ]
then
	set `date "+%m %d %H %M %y"` 
	m=$1 d=$2 h=$3 n=$4 y=$5
	newdt=

	echo "\nEnter the month\t\t[$m] \c"
	read val ; dig2 ${val:-$m} ; newdt=$digits 

	echo "Enter the day\t\t[$d] \c"
	read val ; dig2 ${val:-$d} ; newdt=${newdt}$digits 

	echo "Enter the hour\t\t[$h] \c"
	read val ; dig2 ${val:-$h} ; newdt=${newdt}$digits 

	echo "Enter the minute\t[$n] \c"
	read val ; dig2 ${val:-$n} ; newdt=${newdt}$digits 

	echo "Enter the year\t\t[$y] \c"
	read val ; dig2 ${val:-$y} ; newdt=${newdt}$digits 
fi
date $newdt >/dev/null

case $? in 
0)
	echo "\nThe new date and time is : `date` \n"
