Are there some more Text User Interface (TUI) frameworks for bash (other than this)? : http://code.google.com/p/bashsimplecurses/
- I want to take user input (data entry)
- process the entry
If all you need to do is prompt the user for information, take a look at dialog.

bashsimplecurses is pretty capable (from the little I've seen), but you might want to try GTK Server. (Have a look at the docs page for tutorial and manual links). It can work with a large number of scripting languages. Other Stack Exchange users (particularly the UNIX/ BSD/ GNU/Linux lot) recommend using ncurses with Python.
