Bring back ncurses?  Just exactly what was/is the great benefit
of Euphoria sans ncurses?  A little speed increase, a relatively modest
size increase?  

Ed.ex since 3.0 in my experience has been practically unusable under
SUSE 10.0 32bit Linux and SUSE 10.3 64bit Linux. I think that for 
Linux an ed.ex keyboard setup utility program is needed to tune the
ed.ex key codes to the user's specific terminal.
