Proaction

ProAction Version 1.9

ProAction provides GUIs for script writers, using a unique "dual ARexx Port"
approach.
ProAction itslef is an ARexx host which provides functions for building and
manageing
the GUI, then GUI events are sent  as commands to an ARexx port managed by the
script.

It can be used from any language that can support an ARexx host 
(ARexx (with rexxsupport.libray) python via arexx.so etc etc)
