Please, I Have A Question before I get started

Since you are comfortable with HTML, you could use the browser as your
GUI, and use a lightweight python server like Karrigell (or CherryPy,
or Turbogears) to serve the pages. A little javascript to move the
highlighting around, and . . .

Well, frankly, it's still harder than it ought to be. (I agree with
Steven, it sure seems like it has been long enough.) It's not totally
dreadful, though, and it is free.
