Mr. Plate,

It would be very nice if you could add some kind
of a rudimentary UI. Command line options are great
and all but very impractical. Simple displayed text
menus with numeric choices would be excellent. Or a
drop down console similar to what you see in games
like Quake(any) or UT. I know this is asking too much
too soon but it would be nice.

    Yeah, the game will definitely need some interface to
    handle the command-line options. Until then, you may find
    it useful to enable DOSKEY (in your MS-DOS Command Prompt)
    so that you can use the up and down arrows to cycle
    through previous commands (as you can do in linux).

    To enable DOSKEY from the MS-DOS Prompt, just type
    "doskey" (and hit return). You probably already know that,
    but I'm just logging this here for others in case it comes
    in handy until the GUI shift.
