Obviously menus can be done in text, but graphics is swankier. I sent the author of the request a description of how I combined menus and (primitive!) natural language input using Prolog-2 for Windows 3.0 and a DCG grammar and reverse grammar, if anyone else is interested in discussing such things. I have already blown Prolog-2 for Windows' trumpet enough on this newsgroup but suffice it to say that it allows you to do this kind of thing.
