Thanks to both johnb@grace.cri.nz (John Burnel and Mark Hessling. This was
exactly the problem.  I knew about PDcurses--I should have retrieved it before
I posted my question. 

sc (Spreadsheet calc) for OS/2 1.x--2.0 and MSDOS appears to be working. After
testing, I will post to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. I may try to use the new PDcurses.
If anyone else is working on a port, note that there are a few changes 
required in the posted versions of sc and PCcurses.
