Thanks Viverna!

That code is beautiful. I'll try out the program, and if it works or if
I can get it to work, I might completely separate the menu logic from
the input and output. Also, I think it would be very useable as it is,
as a CLI program.

I find it interesting that all output of that program is to stderr,
probably because he doesn't want to add anything to stdout for fear of
messing up the encapsulating program.

Thanks,

SteveT
