I highly recommend TransSkel, by Paul DuBois at Wisconsin.  It is available
in Pascal and C versions, public domain, at your favorite archive site.  It
has the event loop and basic multi-window handling code.  There are also
extensions, TransEdit and TransDisplay, that provide additional features.  Also
public domain.  Version 2.0 is current.
