Well, there are ascii 24/80 terminals which have windowing capability,
take the AT&T 4415, 4425, and 5420 terminals for example. They appear
to be regular terminals at a glance, but you can define windows in the
terminal memory, and use them. There exists software to utilize these
features, however the version's I've seen just use regular pipes, not
the "sxt000" interface, so vi and other programs think you're not on
a real terminal.
