Would it be better if it was the way a previous message in this thread
suggested:

  Manage scripts
  New Script

  USC #1
  USC #2
  ... etc ...

Or do you want something even easier?

You're right that this would be tough to do with the checkmark
behavior.  Let's try and figure it out some other way.

Ok, I don't feel strongly one way or the other about this.

I agree, this would be nice. I think a freetext version would be fun.
So you could name them things like "ducky", "jello pudding", etc.
Obviously this loses the ability to compare numerically.

Johan: Do you want to take a shot at implementing this user script command UI:

Greasemonkey >
  Install script
  Manage scripts
  New Script
  ----
  USC #1 (tooltip: GMailTo)
  USC #2 (tooltip: GMailTo)
  ----
  USC #3 (tooltip: GMail Saved Searches)

If so, please send to the list a brief description of how you intend
to do it -- what functions you will change/add, etc.

It would be great if we had a wiki, but we can do it for now over e-mail.
