Automenu basically was a program you coukd run that you set up with whichever
programs you wanted, and     would do small batch programs to launch your
selection then returned to the menu when you exited.

I'm playing with Midnight Commander now, it reminds me of Norton Commander I
used in DOS. It might work, but it's a little more complicated than what I
was looking for.
