When you want to interact with SAGE using a GUI, you use a "notebook", which seems to be a JavaScript UI connecting back to the command line program. This is very similar to some Perl (SAGE is Python) code that we're developing; it turns out having a browser UI for a Perl application is relatively simple and effective (modulo the usual rough edges of DHTML/Ajax UIs). http://www.sagemath.org/doc/html/tut/node39.html#sec:notebook - Barrie
