One idea, while a bit clumsy would involve writing the information to  
the auxilliary file and re-use it afterwards. The code could look like

===8<===
\makeatletter
\newcount\modusValue
\modusValue=-1
\def\askInfo{%
\ifnum\modusValue<0\relax%
   \typein[\modus]{Which Version (0, 1, 2 or 3 only)?}%
   \modusValue=\modus\relax%
\fi % \ifnum
\immediate\write\@auxout{\global\modusValue=\the\modusValue}
\ifcase\the\modusValue\or% etc
   % ....
\fi % \ifcase
}
\makeatother
===8<===

To reset the mode, simply trash the .aux file... I did't fully test  
it, but it seems to do the trick. Speaking of which, is there a  
proper way to write to the .aux file without having to use a LaTeX  
internal (\@auxout)?

In the hope this helps...
