I think that might have been mine - I just used tiggr's 'textwindow' hack
to put it in a simple text window.  It didn't use *any* window features
at all.  Textwindow source is in the TeX distribution somewhere (it's
what I use for the desktop TeX interface)

What we need as a quick hack is a desktop Curses window.

What we need as serious software is an X-windows interface to the Wimp.
