Hm, slang is actually amazingly easy to program for, it has a nice -
simple IO model. Keyboard handling is quite simple too. If you need
anything on that I can certainly help.
There is a mostly complete slang doc that I found in the slang sources
that is good for getting started. After that just look in the headers for
the functions you want.
If you desperately want overlapping windows/menus etc then maybe you'd be
interested in the slightly finished APT widget library that does do this.
But there is even less documentation :>
