For PC/MS-DOS there is Quintec Prolog (previously marketed as SD-Prolog)
which has a set of menu & windowing routines supplied as source code.

For SUN/UNIX I know of BIMprolog's Carmen tool, a wysiwyg graphical editor 
that generates Prolog, C or Ada code for a sunview or xview interface.

I don't know about graphics tools for Macintosh prologs, but I'd like 
to.  Does anyone else know which Mac prologs have good graphics tools?
