There are many many tools to develop GUIs. Starting from SAS/AF, PERL,
JAVA, and many more. What you are writing is much too unspecific to say
anything. If it is such simple you say, you could also use a macro window
for it. Even simple HTML with a bit of javascript could do it, but what is
the bigger frame of that? Should it do more one nice day, or should it be
error tolerant, "nice" or simply functional? Should it be very
comfortable? You write about your "starting point", but what is the goal?
