interface development

i have taken on a job replacing an old AS400 RPM database with four thin clients. They really like the feel of the thin client interface, no point and click, no graphics, just green text on a black background. I could use any suggestions on what to read, or where to look to find a way to create a similar feel on the new interface. I am leaning heavily to php, since it would make the Internet port easier. Thank You very much for your replies. Winn Johnston __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo! Mail SpamGuard. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
