Ok, so I developed a skill system that uses variables. I know how to make the window and get the key input to work.. however I would like to make this script accessible from the menu. I want it to look like this:
Skills:
Skill: Known by: Level:
Lockpicking Ralph 8
Disable Trap Ralph 7
Mining: Ulrika 10
... and so forth. The window should putt the # for level for game variables.
The script I'm using right now is this.. I want to edit it to make it display the new window shown above, and if possible adding a new menu option.. how can this be done?

# You can call this window anywhere by using the following in a script input box : Quest_Log.new
# To make sure that the player doesn't open multiple quest windows before closing the first,
# you can call the script like so : Quest_Log.new unless $QUEST_LOG_WND != nil
# Sets a Global Variable; this will keep track of if the window is currently
# open or not.
$QUEST_LOG_WND = nil
# To catch keyboard strokes, we need a reliable way of calling the update
# method within our Quest_Log window. Scene_Map is updated every frame, so
# we'll use that to make sure our window is both updated and terminated
# properly since our window can't update itself without causing a fatal
# loop.

# We'll make an alias of Scene_Map's terminate and update so we don't
# over-write the methods, thus increasing compatability with other scripts.
