Francis,
As you are using wIntegrate you have all the features you need to create a program based upon an example. If not already done. install and run the wIntegrate host programs and run WIN.DEMO. The wIntegrate documentation set that gives the steps for installing the host programs is available online here
docs.rocketsoftware.com. You will need BASIC programming knowledge in order to create the software you are seeking, though the wIntegrate examples can be used as a template..
MOTIF is a legacy feature included in UniVerse on UNIX (only) and has superseded by the GUI administrator tools, and while present is no longer a documented feature. While it is possible to create a drop down menu in MOTIF, you would need to research MOTIF independently and as you have wIntegrate I recommend this approach as you have the tools and it is a supported utility.
Whatever approach taken, programming knowledge will be needed.

I recommend creating a program that you run from the paragraph that will display the drop-down menu and pass the answer back to the paragraph.

As Jonathan mentioned, while MOTIF is available with UniVerse which allows a character-based drop-down menu style to be used this is not an available option with UniData. While I am not aware of the terminal emulation product used here, you could use wIntegrate to generate menus as needed - other terminal emulations may have equivalent functionality.
