As I understand the question, JoshuaRocx wants a GUI that converts his GUI actions to shell commands, and logs them. There is no such animal.

He'll have to learn Linux commands by reading documents, like

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html

from The Linux Documentation Project.

If you google for command language, it's named "bash".
If you want to really program in shell, you will have to look at sed utility.
