I manage a menu-based electronic mail and news system. I am
currently designing and writing a manual for this system, and I am
seriously considering using GNU texinfo.

Most of the examples of texinfo-based documentation I have read
document languages or self-contained programs.  I was wondering
if anyone has used texinfo to document a menu-based system, and
if so, could I see how you did it?  Mostly what I am looking for
is an approach that works for documenting nested screens, menu
selections, highlighting what the "user" types, setting off
system responses, etc...

Thanks.

-Ed
