[ale] HTML Based UI

[Michael E. Barker]

I'm not sure I know what you want but the html application thing can be
done with any browser and javascript.  A lot of CBT (Computer Based
Training) CDs are done this way but it really just information UI.

As <cfowler at outpostsentinel.com> posted Tcl/Tk or perl/Tk may be of more
help to you.

As a project your idea sounds like a good one, a local web server
handling the calls from HTML UI and passing it to another scripting
interpreter, but that is pretty much what "lang"/Tk is doing.
