Bash shell script to prompt user for input with a (CLI GUI) dialog box?
I can think of 3 ways. YMMV Use Zenity (probably disqualified since you don't have X) Use dialog As for the thing on the screen disappearing, structure your script to use dialog completely and present even the informational text inside the widgets. It also has a --stdout option to direct it's output to the standard output so that it persists.
Whiptail is a dialog replacement which I believe is lighter Use tput and manually move the cursor, draw colours etc. To make your dialogue box stand out. This is tedious and error prone I don't like bright colours and things especially for normal selections. I'd much prefer a subdued read However, if you want to do this, I'd recommend the second approach.
Your application should either use a widget toolkit or not use it. Don't try to make it do both.It's not worth the trouble.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
