[TriLUG] Bash 'gui' tools

[Chris MacLeod]

I think you mean tui :)
bash has a select statement that you can use to present a list of choices to
the user and have them select them.  That's about as simple (and as complex)
as you can get with bash alone, anything more and you're probably looking at
curses, tcl or something along those lines.
