Are you looking for a graphical or text mode menu system? Dialog is an ncurses based menu system simular to DOS batch extenders. The command line utility is easy to use, and there is also a shared library. Sysinstall, for example, is linked against libdialog. I think tk/tcl can do menus (and a whole lot more) under X, but you could always run dialog in an xterm.
