Navigating menus

That works great on going back and forth between the options thing, but why doesnt it work for back and forth between the game and the main menu?

i want it so if you press esc in the game, it goes to the main menu, if you press esc, at the main menu it quits

so i did the simple

This in the playgame() loop:

If KeyHit(1) Then
selection=1
End If

at this point selection=1 so it SHOULD return to the main menu, but instead it closes, don't know why, theres no code in the playgame() function that says termanate if keyhit(1)..

and i put this in the Mainmenu() function:

;if esc is pressed ONLY AT THE MAIN MENU quit.
If KeyHit(1)
End

it closes ok at the main menu, but when i hit ESC in the game it also closes... any ideas?

End If
