Charlie:

Well, there's absolutely nothing stopping someone from writing
such a menuing system! 

hint hint hint

Getting people to use it instead of the command line? Well,
that's another story.

Here's what I think will happen. Some peopl will chose it because
it seems to make life simple. Then they'll want to do something
the menus don't support. Then the author gets mail saying "why
doesn't your menu ..." Then were are you?

Back at the command line?

Hopefully. Because the alternative, a fully capable menuing
system, is far worse.

Just goes to say there's no substitute for learning.
