The compendium has some documentation on this but it is a bit confusing.

It depends on what you're trying to do. For a simple choice selection the best example is Crystal's Extremespeed Dratini quiz.

DragonShrineQuiz1Script: ; 0x18d030
; this is just the first part. the other questions have their own menudata
    setbit1 $0001
    2writetext UnknownText_0x18d3bc ; "What are #MON to you?"
    keeptextopen
    loadmenudata DragonShrineQuiz1MenuData
    interpretmenu2 ; load menu and wait until you select an option
    writebackup ; lets you check the option you just selected
    if_equal $1, UnknownScript_0x18d0a9 ; PalScript
    if_equal $2, UnknownScript_0x18d0cb ; UnderlingScript
    if_equal $3, UnknownScript_0x18d0a9 ; FriendScript
    end
; 0x18d049

...

DragonShrineQuiz1MenuData: ; 0x18d215
    db %01000000 ; not sure
    db $04, $08 ; top left corner coords (y, x)
    db $0b, $13 ; bottom right corner coords (y, x)
    dw DragonShrineQuiz1MenuData2
    db $01 ; option 1 selected by default
; 0x18d21d

DragonShrineQuiz1MenuData2: ; 0x18d21d
    db %10000001 ; bit7: left margin; bit0: can't press b
    db $03 ; # items
    db "PAL@"
    db "UNDERLING@"
    db "FRIEND@"
; 0x18d234

; DragonShrineQuiz1MenuData
40 04 08 0b 13 1d 52 01

; DragonShrineQuiz1MenuData2
81 03
8f a0 ab 50 ; PAL@
94 ad a3 a4 b1 ab a8 ad a6 50 ; UNDERLING@
85 b1 a8 a4 ad a3 50 ; FRIEND@

interpretmenu2's parameters are a bit more straightforward than interpretmenu's. Take this script and tinker around with it to see how it works. That'll help more than anything else, and probably be faster too.

I did this not too long ago.

IntroScriptText1:
    db 0
    db "Choose a starter.", $57
 
StarterMenu:
    db $40, $00, $07, $0d, $13
    dw StarterMenuChoices
    db $01
 
StarterMenuChoices:
    db $81, $06
    db "BULBASAUR@"
    db "CHARMANDER@"
    db "SQUIRTLE@"
    db "CHIKORITA@"
    db "CYNDAQUIL@"
    db "TOTODILE@"
 
IntroScript: 
        loadfont
        2writetext IntroScriptText1
        keeptextopen

        writebackup
        if_equal $1, GiveStarter1
