>I think the only remaining issue appears to be the stuttering in menus.

We could reduce its possibility by using a larger initial value and increment. 
Right now, it starts with 1, and increments to the exact length of each longer 
line as it encounters it. That was good for testing, and has also been adequate 
for braille, but is ultimately not very realistic. The only way to get the 
right width for the menu pseudo-screen right up front would be to format all 
possible values of all possible items at startup. That, to me, is way too 
costly for such little gain.

Do you think that the concept of using the two arrows is intuitive enough?

Do you think that the submenu names are good enough? I'd quickly chosen them 
just to have something to work with, and am more than willing to change them.
