The thing with acme basicly is, it can just do text. I have some ideas about a graphical acme, but not now. :)

See, actually I want to get certain information from the user; If the user wants to convert the data, he uses the right-click menu to select 'convert' - all the other information needed include several things (here: sample rate, channels (with 3d sound, that one becomes really interesting), bits per sample,...), so how would you do that? Presenting a 'command-line' is not really cool - Neither to put those things into the right-click menue. So I hoped createmenu() creates a menue in the style of:


+---------------+

|	Bl0b: [        ]	|

+---------------+

I am convinced that it is way better than any alternatives, at least currently.
