programming question... sorta
i didnt wanna post this in C/C++ or Shell programming, because its neither... closest would be Shell... but anywayz, what would (in your opinion) be the easiest route in creating shell gui's?.... im not talking about XFree86 objects, but rather... like the shell setup screen, the cheezy blue popup window style archetecture. id really like to know how to get started on that kind of programming..

This is a big subject

For shell scripts i would suggest you look at "tput" command and similar subjects, which allows you to clear screen, bold, positioning etc.

For C/C++ look at the "curses" library which does a similar job.
