Powermenu for FreeBSD

Don't know if anyone remember DOS Powermenu.... it was one of the first Shareware programs I installed to help make DOS user friendly. It was basically a program launcher that could start various commands with specific parameters. Is anyone aware of anything like this for FreeBSD?

I guess it would be relatively straightforward to cobble something together using dialog, but if there are any samples for using it, it would simplify matters.
 
Do you want it for console or X?
Console menu: misc/pdmenu, looks nice.
For X I like x11/dmenu, it has a completely different concept, but IMO is much better: you just start typing your command and it dynamically finds and suggests program names. You can start typing from the middle of a word, e.g. fox will bring up firefox.
