The problem is, that to take your idea to its logical conclusion, you would end up with say , a cdrecord menu, then a load of checkboxes for the commandline options you wanted, then you might have to give some switches a parameter, it'd just get too messy. And anyway, if that's the kind of thing you want, there's linuxconf, bane of my previous working life.
