Hm, maybe curses? *ix programmers often know what it is, but it was present
on VMS as well.  And the python sources come with a curses module.

The main question then becomes, was VMS's curses a termcap curses or a
terminfo curses, or something else?  ^_^

Then again, maybe DEC did their own curses-like library too.
