(cc:d to Matthias in case he is not on the list.)
When the text package is overhauled in MacPerl (from TextEdit to WASTE, I
think it is), it might be a good time to look into providing terminal
capabilities to MacPerl. There are several solutions. Joseph Hall
mentioned a cross-platform terminal emulation library. Matthias, you
probably know of one or two already. There is Mac06, which is a POSIX
layer for Mac OS, which does terminal stuff now I think, and might be made
to work with the MPW tool or something.
Just some ideas and thoughts.

Well worth discussing, too, IMHO. I've run into a couple of MacPerl
situations already where I most emphatically didn't want GUI's or
Quickdraw Text, just character-based full-screen mode terminal capability.
I might dig around myself. Preferable solutions are XPlatform, at least as
far as the user is concerned.
Good topic. Arved

Speaking of which - this topic just came up in a ppt context. I presume
that a port of the Curses module to the Mac will await the availability of
such character cell hooks. So does anyone know what NCSA||Better telnet use?
They can be used to login to a machine with curses and run curses application
(e.g. lynx web browser). Do they use QuickDraw Text?
Thanks.

I use lynx in all the terminal programs I use: (NCSA |Better)Telnet,
NiftyTelnet.
