Sounds like you want the "learn" CAI stuff that comes with UNIX
version 7 (and 4.1bsd).

"Learn" is a general interpreter for CAI scripts; scripts exist for
a simple UNIX tutorial, but you can also write new scripts to teach
anything you want.  If learn doesn't do exactly what you want, it could
probably be modified.

Check the manual page for learn(1) and the paper by Lesk and
Kernighan, "Learn -- Computer Aided Instruction on UNIX (Second
Edition)" in Volume 2a of the Version 7 UNIX Programmer's Manual.
