Sounds like you could use OLMenu, a menu-based front-end to uqwk.
It's a script that installs in your home directory for personal use,
or can be installed for everyone on the system to use. Check out the
OLMenu home page:
http://www.america.net/~kgresham/olmenu.html
and Kevin Martin's Handson offline reader page for more help:

If you have trouble getting the script from the page, I can mail it
to you as an attachment.
