If worse comes to worst, I can offer a clue (is it a <plug> if I don't
use the product myself?)...
 
Software Research Northwest has a product called WingSpan which is based
heavily on curses (developed for the 3000, but works on DOS and Un*x too)
and they have an add-on which converts VPLUS (VIEW) to WingSpan.  For
info try http://www.srn.com but their pages don't list this particular
add-on product (I guess they still sell it?).
