Something that would probably be a combination of a few things: You'd need a
subsystem that would render XML for you to a screen & interact with the user
to get input. It would probably return results to the user program in XML,
so you'd also need access to an XML parser to interpret the data & get it
into Ada-usable form. If you got that much, you'd still need something that
let you draw up GUIs for your programs that output XML tailored for your
rendering/I/O thingamabob.

Its all kind of vague in my mind so far because I'm not really up to speed
with XML to have a clear vision of how it would be done.
