I think what you are looking for is
dmenu
Quote:
dynamic menu is a generic menu for X
dmenu reads a list of newline-separated items from standard input and creates a menu. When the user selects an item or enters any text and presses Return, his/her choice is printed to standard output and dmenu terminates.

If dmenu could be made to work on the DR then lots of things could be done using scripts. There are probably more script coders out there than full application porters, so this might be a good thing. However, the "Unix" way would be to port a full terminal program and let everyone type in their own commands. No real reason why both a terminal and dmenu can't be available though.
