sounds good. I recall some older discussion which said that Android
only provided some Java emulation of the command-line - either that
was mistaken, or termux is newer.

just as a sanity-check, searching on "termux ncurses" shows that the
latter works - which means that vile ought to (since it uses similar
system features).
