 If you take note of the options, another possibility presents itself.
 Notice that there are groups of common algorithms, differing only in
 size.  You could have each group form a menu, with a submenu for the
 sizes, e.g.:
 
   Choose Algorithm family: 1: DES, 2: RC2, 3, AES, (c)lear?
 
 Then, you'd get one of:
 
   1: DES, 2: Triple-DES, (c)lear?
   1: RC2-40, 2: RC2-64, 3: RC2-128, (c)lear?
   1: AES128, 2: AES192, 3: AES256, (c)lear? 
  
 What do you think of that idea?
