Thanks to those who replied, & especially to the one person who read my question properly and took the trouble to answer the question I actually asked. (Thanks, Guy.) Can I now reformulate the question: I am faced with having to implement a CUA-conformant (PM-like) user interface on a character terminal, mainly to get the action bar & its pulldowns, the function key area, and the field cursor. Multiple windows (simultaneously active &/or user-switchable) and mouse support are actually not part of the task. It seemed to me that this could be done using bits of X-windows, or alternatively that someone somewhere must have done a CUA or PM subset for a character terminal. Any information? Alternatively, is this held to be infeasible? -- Esmond Pitt, Computer Power Group ejp@bohra.cpg.oz
