In older forms of the Basic language the user responds to questions only in the console window.
Modern users expect extra windows for messages and for input and output of certain things.
They also allow users to make choices based upon menus. Chipmunk Basic offers several elements that may be used as part of the GUI you may wish to have in your program. A simple example is the message box. To display a message that demands the attention of the user of a program the message box is a simple piece of the GUI that is very easy to implement. For instance, suppose that you want the user to know that he can try another run of your program after any given run.
