Curses is a *nix interface. There are attempts at a work-alike
package for Windows, which by all reports are not very successful.
Whether any of those would maintain their already-limited
functionality under DOS is questionable.
There *are* similar-but-not-compatible libraries for DOS... or perhaps
I should say *were*, because I have no idea where one might find such
a thing now. (Though I presume that Google would be the best starting
place.) One would then need to find/create a Python wrapper for that
library...
