As for GUI representation of command-line options, Apple tried it with "Commando" in A/UX and MPW. I wonder why UNIX/Linux never settled on a richer representation of command-line options beyond the usage() string printout so that each desktop could implement a GUI command builder. bash's per-command completion information is (probably) in /etc/bash_completion and zsh's is in /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion (see zshcompsys(1)), but both are written in the shell's own programming rather than a language-independent representation of command parameters.

I may as well put a copy up ... here it is: http://voracity.org/Well/Well Supports running ordinary processes, entering input, breaking, detaching/reattaching, html output from ordinary processes (send back as first output data) or text if not a Well-aware program. Still very alpha, of course, so user beware. Well, I’ve been working on this very thing in my (not exactly copious) spare time for the past month. I may as well put a copy up … here it is:

You could open the CommandShell, enter the command, and press Cmd+K and get this dialog: http://applefritter.com/ui/aux/images/cmdo-ls.gif .
