Dialog (command line ncurses scripting) and xdialog (GUI) can help you
here. It's very easy to use and just basic bash programming skills needed.
Some tutotials with usage samples:
If you get the source of dialog then you will find plenty of examples in
the 'samples' dir.
Funny that you mentioned 'dialog': I just had a run-in with it. I wrote
an app. in 2005 to use the '--form' option of it to fill out a form and
pass the data to a daemon. Come to find out that my dialog script no
longer worked: I got a -1 rc and the message 'Expected 8 parameters and
found only 3'. That message was not very helpful so I got the source and
modified 'dialog.c' to show *what* parameters it found. Turned out that
dialog got tripped up by blanks in the form labels. But how come it ever
worked?
