Hi Rickard,

It is not curses-based, but you might want to check out the lux-term library:

https://github.com/jeapostrophe/lux-charterm

http://pkg-build.racket-lang.org/doc/lux-charterm/index.html

It is available via raco:

`raco pkg install lux-charterm`

Lux-term is based on an older library, charterm, and the author of the newer
library suggests looking at the original's documentation too:

http://planet.racket-lang.org/display.ss?package=charterm.plt&owner=neil

Best regards,
