Well the first thing will be to port either a termcap or a curses
library.  Use Google.com to search for a Win32 port.  I believe your
best shot will be PDCURSES for Win23.  I don't have pointers.  You can't
just use the termcap from Cygwin.  You may find a termcap in the tcl/tk
Win32 ports.  I'm just rambling thoughts of suggestions.  Sorry for the
incoherent presentation of thoughts.

HTH,
