Curses that can't be what the OP is referring to.
Curses wasn't a VAX/VMS thing, it was a Unix thing (that has been
ported to other platforms as well). VMS did have it's own
text-screen-widget library sort of like curses+panel, but I don't
remember what it was called. Some googling coughs up FMS and
DECforms. I vageuly remember using one or the other, but that was a
long time ago (25 years).
At first first I thought he was talking about ReGIS, but that wasn't
available on the vt200 (it was on vt240/330/340).
