Noah, ncurses will do all you want in preparing, extending, and tuning a text-based UI. Rich

"Best practice" is a bit contentious, but several people have found that the tcltk package offers a path of low resistance. Just do library(tcltk) and e.g. demo(tkdensity) or demo(tkttest) to see whether it is of use to you (study the code for the demo). In the Windows GUI, there are also features to add items to the menubar, using winMenuAdd and friends. These aren't portable to other architectures, though.

Additionally check gWidgets. Liviu

The tkexamp function in the TeachingDemos package can be used to create a tcltk based GUI for your own functions.
