That's not *at all* the same.   This is all still in the text only domain, so
it's much much much more comparable.  I don't know about the "multiple windows"
part, but I believe you can make a curses "window" larger than the actual
screen, then scroll around within it.  (Sort of like the currently viewed
part of a grafport.)
