Some of our DOS people are being dragged kicking and screaming to Xenix.
They've been using Brief and miss it. However, one of the reasons they
cling to Brief is they know all the keystrokes. Unfortunately, most of
those keystrokes involve <alt>, <ctrl>, <shift> and/or function keys.

If anything exists (and I doubt it) similar to what you're looking it's
bound to be very terminal specific and still won't give them everything
they want.

However, if I am wrong, someone please send me a copy of the code so I
can make it available to my users.
