You can do "vt52" style graphics in a desk accessory; look at
the terminal emulator desk accessory from Atari.

The only thing that you have to do "special" is to arrange to
get the screen restored when the desk accessory exits.
"form_dial(3,<x,y,w,h for full screen>)" will get most things
redrawn; you might have to manually save and restore the part
of screen memory that holds the menu bar.
