with the big drawback that it will only work on Windows.

As Uwe says below, it depends on your context;
for relative simple things, however please consider a portable
solution, using
	  	  menu(), readline(), ..

BTW, menu() has been improved in R 2.1.0 (alpha --> please test!),
and is now connected with select.list() which should work on all
platforms (and uses tcltk on Linux when available).
