Use Tcl/Tk.
Install both tcl and tk ports.
Examples in /usr/local/lib/tk<version>/demos.

Use dialog.
Comes with base system.
Examples in /usr/share/examples/dialog.
>c) Work in text more, but make it more complicated?
Use ncurses and curses development kit.
Install cdk from ports.
Examples in /usr/local/share/examples/cdk.

No experience at all implementing shell wrappers,
I tried installing tcltutor and that's bombing out allover the place.
this is getting too complex, I think I'll load just a desktop gui , and put a clamav icon on the desktop and just have them right click and scan drive
