Well... I think this is up to you. It depends a lot of the type of your
game, etc.

I don't remeber if I saw any tutorial about menus. But creating one is
not any hard. You may look at some games sources for their menus codes.
You can find some of these games in the allegro.cc site
(http://www.allegro.cc/).
To create the menu, just draw it on the screen (accounting too the
"which option is now selected?" thing). Then create a loop which keeps
reading the mouse and/or the keyboard to change the option and
redrawing the screen. Doing it by keyboard is easier, but anyway using
the mouse in not hard. Combining both is not hard too.

Yes.

No, you don't need. But if you're thinking about loading a BMP and
putting it on the screen as your menu, this normally is a good idea.

By the way, try www.allegro.cc forums. They are much more 'alive' than
this mailing list.
