Hmmm, using a subroutine module for ved_size is probably a good idea--but I
have no idea how to do that. Guess the module would have to be written in
assembler and then what? We get the address of the module via modlink and then
jump to the entry point? Return stuff in registers.

The control code thingie is okay. Yes, I have the single board proto. I figured
out the screen stuff from the termcap file--not much there is there? Unless I'm
missing things, it lacks all the goodies like underline and reverse video. Just
as well, it forced me to set ved up so that it can deal with stupid terminals.
And when I get the updated software it'll just be a matter of updating the
termcap entry. Oh, and I do hope that the final version of the window driver
will have entries of an extended character set ($20..$FF).
