I think a good feature to add would be the use of the
keyboard to select a menu options. For example allow
the "up" and "down" arrow keys to navigate the menu.
Also, allow the "enter" to select the menu option.
This would make the menu selection more convenient if
the user is already using the keyboard for game play
and does not have to switch to the mouse for menu
selection.

    PW2 uses ParaGUI for menu system. Keyboard navigation
    support is in the TODO list of ParaGUI team. We will link
    with new ParaGUI when this feature is availabale.

    I haven't really looked at this part of the code, but lets
    not be detered by paragui's lack of implementing this.
    Could we make this implementation without waiting? It might
    require too much reworking, but I am just asking.

    Posible answers would include:
    1) rework paragui so that it works
    2) get rid of paragui and develop our own menu system
    3) it might be too hard to do for now, wait

    1) it is posible, but ParaGUI isn't simple system. It needs
    deeper knowledge of how things work inside it.
    2) I think there are tasks in PW2 which are more important.
