The Berkeley curses does not (unless there's something new), but the
System V (R2 and on, at least) have been enhanced in several ways,
including multiple-terminal (simultaneously from a program) support and
enhanced attribute control. In the Sun manuals, see man page for curses
under the System V libraries, or, in the _Programming Utilities and
Libraries_ manual, chapter 13 (System V curses and terminfo), and checkout
the attron(), atroff(), and attrset() calls.
