I've used gdialog and found it handy for simple things. I see this: gsker at veeta:~>rpm -qf /usr/bin/gdialog gnome-utils-2.6.0-2 gsker at veeta:~>rpm -ql gnome-utils | grep /usr/bin/ /usr/bin/charmap /usr/bin/gcalctool ... /usr/bin/zenity Hmmmm. man zenity NAME zenity - display GTK+ dialogs DESCRIPTION zenity is a program that will display GTK+ dialogs, and return (either in the return code, or on standard output) the users input. This allows you to present information, and ask for information from the user, from all manner of shell scripts. Might be even better than gdialog. There's a package out there for front ending command line things on a universal basis. /me googles http://kaptain.sourceforge.net/#examples HTH Gerry On Sun, 21 Nov 2004, Eric wrote: > If passing parameters is all you want, then something a simple as dialog or xdialog (which uses the gtk library) should work.
