Very Computer

I encountered the dialog utility in one of the bash tutorials im studying
and got impressed with it. I immediately remembered anaconda/Xconfigurator
and other console gui in Linux RedHat. Can this work "side-by-side" with
bash programming or is there a separate scripting language with gui
builtin? I remember reading a post like this in this NG or in unix.shell
but couldnt find it. I'd like to ask the veterans here if shell + gui
programming is recommended in lieu of shell scripting for shell newbies
like me.

dialog works with any scripting language, such as is supported by bash.
also there are scripting languages with internal support for writing a gui.

Hi! Thanks much for the reply. Just for my knowledge, can you tell me
what are those "scripting languages with internal support for writing a
gui"? TIA.

You could try TCL (ugh!), using its Tk library.
Or perl or python using their Tk bindings.

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say 'Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?'
