	Yep. I recently added a similar 'updatecommand' feature
	to the browse menu, so that when a new file was 'browsed',
	the update command would automatically be executed.

	Doing this for the pulldown menus would be similar.. I'll try
	to attack it today, if possible.

	Cool.. thanks.
	Nice thing about it is you can use it to make GUIs even in csh/bash! ;)

	Yes, I think perltk comes with activestate perl, so if you're all
	windows, you probably already have it.

	perltk probably is NOT already on your osx/linux machines though,
	so you'd have to install it if using those platforms, which is kinda
	a hassle probably. (One of the many reasons I wrote 'input', to prevent
	users having to install the TK stuff globally)

	I'll follow up here when I have a modified version of 'input'
	that supports 'updatecommand' for the chooser.
