im not at home with my baja docs, but here's a way to do it, i think.
#looping prompt, to be displayed after menu cmd
:1
print "<[23;1H main pmt"
inkey
if_false
goto 1
end_if
:end
ungetkey
# save it as a .src and put a call in your default.src to it.
# make sure you put an esc code in there instead of <
