Creating a table (graphic not database)
Hi, I want to create a table on our unix box that allows the user to tab through it and select certain option by putting an asterix or similair into it.

e.g.

--------------
|Start App | |
|Stop App |*|
etc...

Can this be done using a script (never seen any graphics options in ksh, but I've never looked into it that much)? If not any recommendations on software that will do this (the easier the better!)?

I searched the forum, but obviously looking for "table" just brought back loads of database related queries.

Thanks in adavnce.

You can use tput to "draw" ascii to the screen. man tput.
