I don't know about the person you replied to, but I know I'd love to see
this.  I've been considering doing this with text mode(s) since Vio thunks
take longer than I like and I was never very pleased with Vio performance
anyways.

Of special interest to me, is how you handle screen mode switching... (ie.
when someone is in your program and hits Ctrl-ESC.)  Are you using the
VioSwitch (VioModeSwitch.. err whatever) functions?
