I have used a library of Fortran-callable functions and subroutines to
do a good deal of what you want to do. The product is called The
Spindrift Library, Spindrift Laboratories, Ltd., 116 S. Harvard Ave.,
Arlington Heights, IL 60005 (312) 255-6909. I'm afraid the routines
are not as high-level as you are hoping for, but can be used to produce
your own screen editor and resident help facility. At the time I got
this library there was only a Lahey Fortran version, but the author
was working on an MS Fortran version. The license conditions are
even more liberal than what you require. Lahey Fortran has some sort of
arrangement with the author, whereby they offer a degree of support for
the product.
