Making poor emacs do this seems like a horrible kludge.  Wouldn't a
single-item-list dialog of fixed length, serviced as a ring buffer, work
better for this particular application?  On Unix platforms this would rely
on the long-awaited merge of Common Graphics with that software, but this
would work on the Windows software today.
