My current approach is to just make each of them a #lang language, but grouped together in a collection, and that's working out fine. But I would like to see if I can do it in a similar way to the HtDP languages, such that the user chooses the language from a group in the Choose Language menu, and doesn't use #lang syntax.

So you read 

 http://docs.racket-lang.org/tools/adding-languages.html?q=drracket%20language%20menu#%28part._.Adding_.Arbitrary_.Languages_to_.Dr.Racket%29

Can you explain where you get stuck and (if possible) why you're stuck there? This would help us improve the docs and we can answer your question(s). I think it is safe to conflate the two threads here.

(p.s. I have done this language-menu thing only once, for The Little Lisper languages, but never released it.)
