What I want is an updated menu.lst with the new version listed at the 
top, the same way it's always worked before.


The question and choices:
----------------------------
What would you like to do with menu.lst.

install the package maintainer's version
keep the local version currently installed
show the differences between the versions
show a side-by-side difference between the versions
show a 3-way difference between available versions
do a 3-way merge between the available versions (experimental)
start a new shell to examine the situation
----------------------------

The 3 'show' choices are useless for me in the way they're presented.
