Just use a lot of if's and elseif's.
With the colors api.

This should be what you are looking for. Next question is what do you want it to do after it is selected ?

local bundelSide = "bottom"
local colorUp = "white"
local colorDown = "magenta"

    local offX,offY = term.getCursorPos()

I see what you did thar. colorsUp - Very Clever.
As for the selection = menu( .. blah .. ) where is the print for all options?

if you mean where is the section of code that prints the options to the screen look at the for loop starting at line 13. all options are takes into a table then printed in turn on each line. if else please please clarify question end
