Thanks for all the various suggestions.

My requirement can best be summed up as follows:

    - runs under GNAT Ada for DOS (just DOS on the machine, nothing else!)
    - no requirement whatsoever for any pointing device e.g. mouse
    - simple windowing, coloured text, menus would be nice
    - free?

Further threads welcome.

Ashley
