Congratulations, impressive! And quite funny to see something like that
on a terminal 😂.

If you are looking for ideas:

Could you make sub-menus display and behave more like on a GUI? For
example, when I choose Tools -> Spell from the menu bar, the Spell menu
replaces the Tools menu on the screen. On a GUI it would display on top
of the parent and one could navigate back to the parent with the mouse.

Similarly for context menus. 

Also the first line of the menu "Spell >" looks weird.

And keyboard navigation back from a sub-menu to its parent would be
nice.

Unbelievable 😂 Nice!

Also, moving child frames is pretty nice too!
