Joe, 

   It would be a nice project for someone to do, and it's not
rocket science, so various people could do it. Here's most of
the current list of IP Menu commands, in the command format that
the IP Menu program uses, in case anyone is curious. What would
be your estimate of the time needed, if we wanted to put this on
a project list?
