If the user has to *type* one of those, the system is broken.
You can write a menu system, which will list the legitimate choices and
ask him which one he wants, in twenty lines of shell script. It will run
on any ASCII terminal. There is no need to have X and Tcl/Tk to write
interfaces that are more novice-friendly than setenv.
