Ruby Console Library

Hi.

I'm thinking about some advanced console programs. For the program, I'll use
Ruby. But, before building everything from scratch, I'd like to do some
quick fact checks.

Does Ruby have the followings?
- Pulldown menu library for Console
- Scrollable Window for Console

The appearance of my program will be quite similar to mc(midnight commander)
or aptitude(package manager of ubuntu), so any libraries related to the
appearance of those program will be very helpful for me. If anybody knows
such a library, please let me know.

Best Regards,
Minkoo Seo

aptitude is written in ncurses (mc probably is too).

Haven't used Highline myself..but seems to me...like a good
alternative for writing console based applications.
