Maybe I lost some early part of the thread, but curses,
at least the one that I wrote (SysVr3.2 or later), is for all
character terminals that can place the cursor at a random point on the screen.
It handles video attributes for all the HP26* and TVI* terminals
efficiently and correctly (as correct as possible for the TVI-variety).
It also knows about multi-byte/multi-column characters (Japanese, Chinese).
