Could one of you please describe the functioning of this utility?
I do not have the liberty to arbitrarily load it to try it out, but it
piques my interest. 

What does it require of the terminal? i.e. ansi? VT100? cursor control?

As much as GUI's (pronounced 'gooey') are on the horizon, a text based
windowing emulator for EASE OF USE would be a welcome bridge for those
who don't possess a mega-machine yet.

And, oh yes, how does it run on a 386 host?
