Shorter "What do you want to XXX?" prompts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start the game.
2. Don't stand on a corpse.
3. Choose "Eat" from the menu or shortcut bar.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The question in the title bar ("What would you like to eat?") is too long
and cut off ("What do you want to...").  See the screenshot.

I'm still learning what all these keys do, so I'd like to see the whole
thing -- or at least the verb.

I suggest shortening the prompts to remove "do you want", resulting in a
shorter question "What to eat?"

This would apply to all inventory prompts.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
iNetHack 1.1 on OS3.1

Please provide any additional information below.

*Don't* shorten the prompts. A smaller font or a rewrite of the menu stuff with
OK/Cancel at the bottom (toolbar) should do it without touching NetHack core.

Technically, I didn't mean messing with the NetHack sources -- just adding a 
bit of
regex to whichever method sets up those views.
