Maybe somebody knows this one: is there a game or educational

The questions and answers could be in a textfile:
#Q #A
What is the capitol of Kansas? Topeka
What is the cube root of 8? 2
I'm thinking of something very simple that could be expanded
over time. Linux has something that's pretty near what I'm
aiming for, but it breaks--I'm obviously missing some libraries.
After looking for four days I thought I'd ask here.
thanks for any clues,

PS: I could probably knock something out in a half hour using
/bin/sh but I'd rather have something more graphic and flexible.
You could check out curses/ncurses. There is a man page.
It might be overkill for what you want, but you can look.
It takes some effort to get started, but is not too bad to
keep adding to.
I actually just do this sort of thing in a quickie web page and
run it through a browser.It only takes some simple tables.
If you want to read in the answers, a Perl or PHP script will
take care of it nicely.
Yeah, I was thinking of exactly that; usring a random function
and php4 and some web pages:: quick and dirty//(half-clean?:-)
since I've already got that implemented. Is there a tk/tcl
app to create popups on-the-fly?
Anyway, thanks for your insights,
gary
