I have an (alpha quality) XView-based package that might be what you are interested in. It allows you to have a panel along with a tty-based application. The panel contains several buttons which perform like function keys. The current release also does keyboard remapping. Included with this package is vtem(1) - a termcap-based VT100 emulator. I have also used this package to put a panel around a IBM 3270 emulator. You can run any tty-based program inside the aplication. Send me mail if you are interested in an Alpha copy. -- Bruce G.
