 * Change output format. Menus and --print-maxsize.
 * Redefine sizing. Fixed rows, cols and menurows became at the most.
 * Add DIAGNOSTICS. Error messages for bad arguments and options.
 * Add keys. Space for --menu, fast keys for --msgbox and --yesno.
 * Text. Change default text modification, add --cr-wrap.
