Hello,
I am trying to move a number of my applications to freepascal and would need some advise as how to implement a UNIT that can create/save/restore windows frames.

In the past I have used Borlands WIN.TPU unit for DOS to make Windows frames and
restore the old DOS windows.

Is there a library function that does the same for a terminal window in Linux?
The YaST installer for SuSe uses just the kind of "Window" overlaying that I would like to use.

Can someone point me to some package or document for doing this.

Worst_Case: is there a function call to "Get" the charater at a specific display position from a linux terminal?

Thx and
my regards,
Stefan
