VIEW is a proprietary screen driver that runs on Classic and RISC HP 3000's.
I don't know of any equivalent on the 9000.  VIEW is a block-mode
application, and the progranning for block-mode apps on the 9000 is very
tricky.  VIEW is commonly knows as V/PLUS.
 
You can find lots of information about the VIEW user-interface in the
following manuals:
 
    HP Data Entry and Forms Mgmt.  Sys.  (VPLUS) Technical Addendum
                                                        (32209-90021)
    HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS/V) (32209-90001)
    Using VPLUS (32209-90004)
    HP 3000 Guide for the New User (32033-90009)
    MPE Commands Reference Manual (30000-90009)
    MPE Intrinsics Reference Manual (30000-90010)
    MPE Software Pocket Guide (30000-90049)
    Using Files (30000-90102)
    Native Language Support Reference Manual (32414-90001)
 
 
You will also need the technical manual for the particular terminal that
is using the VIEW app.  You can probably forget about VT-class terminals!
 
A really good source of information, of course, is the HP CD-ROM MPE/iX
manuals. (Order 50726-10193)  You will also need the HP-UX manuals,
CD-ROM part number 50726-10157.
 
Good Luck!
 
(Did I mention VPLUS/Windows?  Hah!  That's another whole can of worms.)
