OK. Sounds like a plan. BTW I am using full dialog not just whiptail.
dialog-1.1-20080316.tgz
This version of dialog can even be themed. There are examples on the net.Thanks, I've downloaded it. I'll also put it on laptop so I can work if/when I get a chance between now and the weekend.

Sweet! There are a couple of minor differences that I found to sometimes be major annoyances in whiptail.Yeah, I noticed differences in the two as well in the small amount of whipping tail that I have done. One case where more features is nice as long as it does not take up much space or memory/cpu.

Those are two of (at least) three things to consider. The third is dependencies. It may have a smaller footprint on its own, but it won't run like that. It may not be the smallest choice when you weigh the rest of what it requires against larger binaries and what they require.
