    So then there really was a good reason for me to ask you exactly why you thought you needed so very indented code.

    for(;;) {
    key = check_keys();
    switch (state) {
        ...
        case STATE_MAINMENU:
            if (key == ENTER) {
                state = menuchoices[curr_menu_item];
            }
            break;
            ...
        case STATE_WAITINPUT:
            if (key == ESC) {
                state = STATE_MAINMENU:
            } else {
                ...
            }
            break;
        ...
    }
}

    You want your main loop to iterate often, so it can check important global states. That means that the main loop should try to avoid to contain subroutines (or nested loops) that will take any significant amount of time.
