I want the user to be able to select the month from a list on a green

I'm looking at SNGCHCFLD and CHOICE DDS keywords at the moment. Do I have
to use choice and a number or can I just have a word, (eg, January)?
Or is there a better way?

That should do what you want.

On modern displays and controllers (e.g., PC5250, aXes, etc.) this will show a list of months. Move the cursor to the desired month and press the space-bar to select (or just click it with the mouse). Press Enter to process.

On older displays and controllers you would type a / next to the month you want (or use the space bar).
