Graphical interface for shells

[Bettina Ofner]

Does anybody know a simple tool or scriptlanguage with which I can create/use my UNIX shells in a more windows like style.
(Window with click buttons, )

Hi,

only thing i know is the dtksh
With this shell you are able to create a script with X-Windows(MOTIF)-Widgets.
See man dtksh

Tcl/TK is said to be the easiest way to create Motif-like widgets.
But this requires that you script in tickle (Tcl).
If you are more fond of Perl (like me ;-) you also have the ToolKit (TK) as a whole module library which you can download from CPAN.
The scripting seems to be essentially similar to Tcl (same naming conventions, syntax adopted, event loop etc.)

Take a look at Python...
http://www.python.org

You'll find some papers comparing different scripting languages there too.
