Excerpt from the dtksh man page:

 NAME

      dtksh - shell command language interpreter with access to many X, Xt,
      Xm and CDE functions

 DESCRIPTION
      The dtksh utility is a version of the KornShell extended to
      support:

         +  Access to many X, Xt and Motif facilities from within a
            shell
            script

         +  Fully localized shell scripts

         +  Access to the CDE application help system

         +  Customization of script-based GUI attributes (such as font
            and colors) using the CDE customization tool

         +  Response to session-management Save state directives

         +  Response to window-management Close directives

         +  Access to most of the CDE Desktop Services Message Set

         +  Access to many of the CDE Data Typing API functions

         +  Access to the CDE Action API functions


Perhaps Wcl (Widget creation library) might be a good starting point?
