Greetings!
As part of our UI enhancement quest we just finished the ASCII implementation of a new dialog widget system for ADOM (the graphical counterpart takes a bit longer bit is upcoming, too).
The following blog post has a demo illustrating the new dialog widgets:

This in the future will make it much simpler to recognize input requests from the game and display detail information.
Stay tuned for the next release!
