When browsing for example, you'll see something like this:
1) .
2) ..
3) ourdirectory
4) file1
5) file2
6) another.file
7) yet.another
8) more.fileage
9) almost.done
0) tenthfile
<more>
and if you have more than 10 files, you press + and - to go to new pages. The same interface, only replacing "1234567890" with "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm" is used for selecting program options. (Dvorak users may change this easily) I don't know if one is really better, but I suspect more browsing time is spent selecting rather than reading file descriptions, while the opposite is true when selecting options.
If I get it to later versions it will become possible to construct pipeline commands of equal complexity to those of the CLI :twisted:

Still not ready for a release. I'll wait on that until option selection and the file browser are completely implemented.

v0.12 -- It runs and shows my one test program(ls) and a title bar at the top: "hosh v0.12 -- press ? for help" Pressing "q" to run ls brings up the first page of options, which can't be used or selected yet. Page/key overflow adds a message at the right of the title bar: "+/- to navigate" God was it painful to XMLify the options - there's like 50 of them for that program. I'm hoping for some community support in adding new ones
