+;Task:
+Given a prompt and a list containing a number of strings of which one is to be selected, create a function that:
+
+* prints a textual menu formatted as an index value followed by its corresponding string for each item in the list;
+* prompts the user to enter a number;
+* returns the string corresponding to the selected index number.
+
+<br>
+The function should reject input that is not an integer or is out of range by redisplaying the whole menu before asking again for a number. The function should return an empty string if called with an empty list. 
+
+For test purposes use the following four phrases in a list:
+    fee fie
+    huff and puff
+    mirror mirror
+    tick tock
+
+;Note:
+This task is fashioned after the action of the [http://www.softpanorama.org/Scripting/Shellorama/Control_structures/select_statements.shtml Bash select statement].
