How about using an Excel spreadsheet for the UI? It has pretty good Applescript support. Or, if you are facile with it, Filemaker would be even better. You can make a nice input layout and output format and use Applescript or Filemaker scripting to handle the processing. Either of these would probably be better than tying to reinvent the wheel with AS, even using ASOC.
