Looks like, according to lines 21-25 of the script, you're able to pass arguments instead of interacting with the window. For your case, I think this should work:

foundation new --framework apps

If this doesn't work, I'd recommend re-installing the package.

Hope this helped!

For anyone else with the problem, I found that when installing Git, when it asks what command line interface it wants you to use, choosing to run it only on Git BASH wouldn't work, but enabling it on cmd and typing the command on there got the arrows to work.
