I am attempting to write a program so that students can apply for a
computer account at any Xterminal. They will simply have to type something
like apply at the prompt and an online application form will come up on
the screen. This will need radio boxs, and toggle boxes, places for names
and student numbers, etc.

What I am looking for is a guide to help me program the interface. I have
only written the venerable "hello world" for X windows so am lower that
low, a novice of novices. So if anyone could point me in the direction for
finding an example user interface I will be indebted.

Thank you.
