How about the following idea (and this is a rough, off the top of my
head type solution - there's probably heavy lifting left to do here) -
set the script as the .cshrc, and then do this in the .cshrc:

if(We're not on the right server)
    serverSelect()
else
    doStuff()


serverSelect()
{
#   do the menu stuff, get your answer, and then...
    rcp .cshrc username at servername:~/.cshrc
    rlogin -l username servername

#   Maybe it's cheating a bit...
}

Dave.
