The curses front end to sorcery is done using dialog. We have no control
over how dialog chooses to represent the things. That said, we can
change what dialogs we tell it to show. It is one of the most neglected
parts of sorcery, probably because developers don't use it. This would
be a perfect starting point for someone who wants to get into sorcery
development. It's mostly self contained, the only thing to be careful
about is the quoting syntax, which is quite nasty.
