Hello Tom,

Did you take a look at the 'tuidemo' sample program that comes with PDCurses ?
It should give you a good starting point for a portable TUI you're looking for.
I have compiled (and used) both PDCurses and TUIDEMO with Turbo C in the past.
The resulting Turbo C library can be used with Borland C as well.

Mark Hessling (maintainer of PDCurses) has a Borland version of PDCurses too.
Take a look at: http://www.gu.edu.au/gwis/the/markh.html for more info.
(The Borland version can be found at ftp://ftp.qut.edu.au/src/PDCurses/pdcbcc22.zip)

Pieter.
