Windowing Software on HP-UX 11i

Is there any kind of "Character-based" windowing software available on HP-UX ?

i want to develop a simple character-based user interface with menu-options.

thanks

That kind of stuff was done for decades on UNIX using the "curses" package. Man curses for details. Probably the easist method unless you want to code in C is to use one of the Perl Curses modules. That makes it very easy.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
