    Well, I _do_ have a UNIX account of sorts with the university.  I dropped
Algebra earlier this year and replaced it with a first-year CompSci course. 
We are automatically dumped into the "LUNIX shell" via an 'lsh' command.  It's
called "Learner's UNIX" (or "Lobotomized UNIX") since anything outside of
about 15 basic commands will give you a "command not executed" error.  At
least I get ftp access from LUNIX...

    Thanks for the brief info on curses, I think I know what you're getting
at.  Some sort of universal translator for terminal screen codes?
