Is there a CTTY program which might intercept screen writes for programs such
as WordStar, dBase, or others and would send to the serial port (along with
text information) the appropriate ANSI (or vt100) codes which would allow
correct cursor placement?  Such a program would allow me to access *all* of
my text-based (i.e., non-graphics) software remotely (rather than having to
use EM, a text-based, ANSI-driven editor as my primary remote editor).

If such a program does not exist, what would it take to write one?  (Follow-ups
to this question to comp.sys.ibm.pc, please.)
