Thank you.
Screen is a linux utility. I am writing this on a bare metal (no
operating system) ESP32 dev board.
Right now the program is text menu driven. I would like to enhance it
with textual windows.
The Txwindows package is perfect but over kill and will need some
hacking to work in my environment and it doesn't support the VT-100's
region scrolling so screen updates might be slow.

such things before but not recently.
I will be running this on *bare metal (no operating system)*.
Preferably the package would use the regional scrolling capabilities
of the VT-100 for faster screen updates.
I might be able to get Txwindows to work but I am looking for
something a bit simpler?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you....

Screen(1) https://manpages.org/screen could do what you are thinking of.
