I've been thinking what it would be like (good and bad) to present emacs to my operators as a menuing system. They could make selections similiar to the M-x customize type interfaces, the selections could do rsh/ssh type jobs, start and stop machines, etc. The only downside I see so far is the huge size of emacs.
I don't think Emacs is suitable for that task. The point of a menu system is to constrain the user; the point of Emacs is to empower the user. -- Kevin Rodgers
