I think the explanatory text under the first option should be replaced 
with something like the following:

   Typical language declarations:
     #lang <language-name>
     #!r6rs

Or perhaps instead of the abstract #lang example have two concrete ones, 
like "#lang scheme" and "#lang typed/scheme".

It should also have a link to an explanation of language declarations in 
the help desk, either following the examples or as the text "language 
declarations" above hyperlinked.

How about updating the line at the bottom of the frame based on the 
language found also? That is, instead of "Module", it should say 
something like "Module: scheme" or "Module: scheme/base" or "Module: r6rs".
