Yes, a pick box, that'd be nice. Like, in ZMud you can do
#PICK {"o:1|"HI:say hi|BYE:say bye"}
or something like that and when it do it, you get a little box to pop up, like a dialog box with the Options HI and BYE in there. Then you can move up and down with arrow keys, click, or just hit the first letter of the option and hit enter. If two options have the same name they cycle too. That'd be uber! *bounce*

Also, some basic list support, that would help many people. They woudln't have to learn SQL or make their own list methods in a scripting language. I suppose someone could just make a plugin for it too. With some quicksort methods, and remove/add methods and stuff.

Fun stuff! Instead of having 5 different aliases for simlar actions you can use a pick box to have the user determine it with greater ease. Its just more elegant than having a bunch of aliases that only differ by one letter or something.

As an example, Targets, in Zmud you could do something like this:
Alias Name: T
Commands: Target = %pick(@Targets)

That will open a pick box with all the things in the Targets variable and set a single one to the Target variable.
