Kommander is a set of tools that allow you to create dynamic GUI dialogs that generate, based on their state, a piece of text. The piece of text can be a command line to a program, any piece of code, business documents that contain a lot of repititious or templated text and so on. The resulting generated text can then be executed as a command line program (hence the name “Kommander”), written to a file, passed to a script for extended processing, and literally anything else you can think of. The best part of it all? You aren't required to write a single line of code!
