Since Zillions of Games is a commercial product that hasn't been updated
since 2002 or thereabouts, I wouldn't hold my breath on this happening.
Basically, what you want is a point-and-click interface for Game Courier.
I think this can be done with JavaScript, but I don't yet know how. I did
download a JavaScript Chess program called P4wn, which lets you move pieces
by clicking on a piece, the piece image goes to the mouse pointer, and then
you move it to the square you want to go to. This showed me that I should
be able to do something similar with JavaScript, but the source code was
so compact and obfuscated, I couldn't learn anything from studying it.
I've also learned about something called Ajax, which works with
JavaScript, and I found a very nice Ajax Chess program. But I still know
next to nothing about Ajax. If someone knows how I can use JavaScript or
Ajax to create a point-and-click interface, please share what you know.
