I've never done prompting in either so I can't specifically answer that question, but my guess is that, whatever you can do with a regular menu (except, as Vern pointed out, multi-columns) you can do with UIM. And a few more things, like context sensitive help; put the cursor on a menu option and press F1.
I've never come across a tool for conversion. I use a template that I use when I re-build a menu as UIM. Since I don't do one from scratch too often, it's OK. But a tool for, at least, building them (like SDA) would be nice. Very nice.

Do the UIM menus you create have full command prompting like regular menus?
You know, the ?? and ?- and ?* stuff. And are those promtable during design
and runtime?

What tool do you use to convert from regular to UIM menus?

Thanks.
