Like Doctor XP said, you can accomplish this using the show image
command.  I think for what you are describing, you would type some
commands like this:

secondary_menu:

; Show the intro graphic.
show image 2ndmenu.bsi 2ndmenu.bmp
getkey 5  ; This will show the graphic
          ; until a key is pressed,
          ; or for a maximum of five seconds

; Now display the text menu.
cls
print "1. Option 1\n"
print "2. Option 2\n"
print "3. Option 3\n"
show console

; Now wait for user input.
menu_input_loop:
getkey
onkey 1 goto option1
onkey 2 goto option2
onkey 3 goto option3
goto menu_input_loop


If this isn't the feature you're referring to, please try to describe it
in greater detail.
