I was seeing the code for terminal handle and it looks very good, also
I made a new terminal driver using the Allegro library without any
complication today (I'll be testing and making all the configuration
stuff before checkin to CVS). With this we will be able to run Zile in
X windows (without a xterm) or maybe port it to Microsoft Windows.

PS: I was thinking and maybe a DOS port (using conio.h) should be easy
to implement.
