IMO, it's more work to get a scrollable menu with a subfile than it is with 
UIM. Doable, yes. UIM gives you a lot of error and cancel handling that 
you'd need to write yourself, as well. It does have its limits, which is 
why I'm working on a *PGM menu based on UIM menu panel groups. Allows for 
variable substitution into a menu, also conditioning is possible with more 
flexibility than a normal UIM menu.

You pays your money, you takes your choice.
