Excuse me, but I meant what I said: "curses". It's a library for screen and
keyboard handling on terminals -- standard on Unix-like systems; basically,
in Unix, most programs that aren't for X (GUI) or plain tty (simple text
with no color or cursor control) are curses apps. MultiMail originated on 
Linux, and it still uses curses on the other platforms it's ported to.

I believe that the name "curses" does ultimately derive from
"cursor",
though. And if you want to call it a "console" app, that's true enough.
