looks promising Raffy, I was thinking more of a simpler, easily editable version that would be ~10kb of text (Xdialog script) and require no additional libraries/programs (beside the fact that I can actually use it). Murga Lua is not default in many versions of Puppy and if I recall it was around 500kb.

if you got devx loaded, they are at /usr/share/doc/gtkdialog3

but xdialog might be an interesting way because i've seen an example where xdialog and dialog are combined in one script. if x is running it will run as xdialog if not as dialog. so a wizard would be accessible in x and in cli...

but i had to google for it, i haven't make a bookmark Crying or Very sad

MU may have more appropriate examples
but this is the code part of YAP which uses pull down menus . . .

Agree with Aragon,

Excellent start Smile
What does LANG=C do (near top of script)?

other possibilities:
    Jwm configuration
    Set date and time
    Add software
    screensaver /usr/local/apps/Xlock
    Psip configuration

@Lobster - LANG=C supposedly helps scripts to run faster - Barry discovered this while testing woof.

Anyhow I finished it and got all except PSIP
I may replace the Browser "seamonkey about:config" with PSIP though since so many puplets cut seamonkey ... I tried to do "defaultbrowser about:config" but the mozstart automatically prepends "file://" so that was a no go

...need to test at lower resolution, try on different puppies...

Edit - removed Pwidgets since it is easily accessible from the Pwidgets dock on the desktop... replaced with PSIP

It may be a stupid question but what are the "?" marks for ... help? May I suggest you do away with all the separate help buttons and have a single help button that points at a linked help page or index. It would simplify the whole look of the panel, IMHO. Just a thought.

They are just help dialogs that give a brief description of the program...

A separate help window would probably be good. I set it up for the impatient, yet slow reader types like myself.

Most of the linked to programs/wizards have help / explanations
You could use a menu bar to create help and other options (if they arise)
something like:

Code:
  <menubar>
    <menu>
       <menuitem>
             <label>PSIP</label>
               <action>leafpad setupPSIP.txt &</action>
         </menuitem>
          <menuitem>


loading a text editor is not the best way - but the easiest to set up Smile

Bonjour,
I like this panel.
About "?"
The reading of the panel would be clearer if the display of information by "?" were given by moving the mouse cursor over an icon, as once in the install package PET wizard (old petget),
If it is possible to do.
