Subject: Re: Creating a pacifier in command line program

Ruby comes pre-packaged with a curses library that (supposedly) works
with both Linux and Windows.  It is completely undocumented (that I 
can find), but the C Curses library may help.  Have a look at:
http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/UnixAndC/CLanguage/Curses.pdf

The ruby curses lack-of-documentation:
http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/curses/rdoc/index.html

Hope this helps!
