I'd suggest wksh instead.  There is now a book on it, and sample
scripts exist on the AT&T FTP site and provide sufficient information
about the grammer to allow you to implement most of the necessary code.

Personally I'm not that impressed with interpreted GUI environments.
VC++ applications start on the order of 5-10 times faster than VBASIC
apps, even when using the same DLL's and OCX's.
