Drop Down Menus to call rpg programs

I have a bunch of rpg programs that are navigated to using the green screen
menus that have been converted from the as400 using webfacing.  I want to add a
drop down navigational menu bar to my web interface that will appear on all
pages.  The problem is I am not sure how to make the webfacing converted green
screen come up directly from a drop down menu.  This seems like it should be
simple.  If anyone has done this I would greatly appreicate any help here.

TIA,

Hi Susan,

I believe from a drop-down there is a selected JavaScript event (or 
something of that nature) that you could use to determine which item has 
been selected and from that call up a JSP that could do a programmatic 
invocation of the WF app for you.  If you were really keen I guess you 
could also use an activex control to start another instance of IE so 
that the original application could stay active.
