I am looking for a grscripting language which allows me to develop and
test my GUI-based applications before I freeze the design and implement
them in a programming language.  The following "Hello World"
shell script illustrates some of the more elementary capablities of
dtksh:

#! /usr/dt/bin/dtksh

main()
{
        XtInitialize TOPLEVEL dtHello DtHello "$@"

        XmCreateMessageDialog HELLO $TOPLEVEL hello \
                dialogTitle:"DtHello" \
                messageString:"$(print "Hello\nWorld")"

        XmMessageBoxGetChild HELP $HELLO DIALOG_HELP_BUTTON
        XtUnmanageChild $HELP
        XmMessageBoxGetChild CANCEL $HELLO DIALOG_CANCEL_BUTTON
        XtUnmanageChild $CANCEL

        XtAddCallback $HELLO okCallback exit

        XtManageChild $HELLO

        XtMainLoop
}
main
