You probably want to use something like ncurses

http://www.familiepfeifer.de/juergen/ncurses.html

I think you can get ncurses (a GNU package ftp.gnu.org) to compile under
Solaris.
The Ada binding above was done to work with GNAT but perhaps it will work
with Apex.

Also poke around in the rational/base directory and make sure there is not
already some curses binding there.. I can't remember offhand if there
already was one.
