It frustrated me, but I went from DOS to win.  I didn't learn
computers with windows, I actually never had a mouse for several years
after my first experience with computers.

No, I actually mean my own competence to write this =P

It might not be, I was hoping to create something small (in size) fast
and very simple.  But simple for the non-tech minded (not sure if
that's the right analogy).

yes, but my lack of knowledge on the subject led me to ask here, how
to I make a GUI program using PHP or should I change languages for
this program?  Is it effective to do gtk+php or just try Pascal or
Java to rewrite this.  And, is there something out there to help me
create the GUI w/out having to manually code out each button.  Lazy
way?

It's not just a db list, it does use a db to store the information. 
It does and will do much more.  I also need it to run under Windows
(maybe MAC), ah, I opened a can of worms again =P
