- The correct title of this article is dialog. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.
dialog is a command utility to create nice user interfaces from shell scripts, or other scripting languages, such as Perl. It is non-graphical (it uses curses) so it can be run in the console or an xterm. There are also graphical Xwindows versions.
Example
% dialog --backtitle "My Shell Script - v1.0" \
--title "Press Up/Down Keys to move" \
--textbox /home/foo 21 70

- curses / ncurses
