Any experiences with 2D graphics pkgs for the PC?  Something that
supports inputs as described in GKS...with support for more than just
request mode.  The system would continuously outputing graphics while
simultaneously checking for kybd/mouse input; it wouldn't be
sufficient to block for input.  Conceptually, this is what the system
would support:

mouse input --------------------------------------\
                                                   \
keyboard input --------------------------------------/========= process
                                                    /           Input,
graphics requests (from somewhere, maybe RS-232) --/            or Update
