Mark,
AFAIR UV does provide cursor driven input - see the Input @, KeyEdit and
KeyTrap statements. It is however pretty horrible.
You can't blame the vendors for this one though. The problem has been the
mindset of a community that hasn't shared code (how many virtually identical
menu runners or input subroutines have I seen over the years) even though the
runtime binding model of external subroutines makes it so easy...
I doubt the vendors would be interested in extending a 20 year old text
interface when you can download the free VB 2005 Express, UO.Net and do it all
properly ...

To: "u2-usChis case MS got it right. Every input behaves very much like
every other
with the special keys.
I believe that this should be accomplished by the providers themselves, ie
Raining Data and IBM in their future releases. They already interpet the
TERM setting and it would remove the differences. I took my GET.ANS and
tried to fit it on Accuterm and couldn't get the proper backspace.
