So far I've seen three examples on doing this in C?  Hasn't ANYONE done it
in Forth?

I wrote something to do that a while back from Mad Apple Forth - but
I haven't looked at it in ages.  I'll go look for it.  I think it
was 4 screens or so.

Another Forth I used on a 68010 system had a setup where it would send
screens out over a serial line and the receiver would make a text file
out of it with a ^L between screens.  As I remember, a screen did not
have to have all 16 lines as the ^L marked the end of the screen and
the start of the next.  After editing, this text file was sent back
to the 68010 host.  Interesting, eh?
