Ok I've sent him an e-mail. Could you give me some more information about
the term variable in case that he asks me about that?

And besides that: Am I right that the problem is the usage of the curses /
ncurses library to display the cursor? If so, would it also be possible to adapt
Brltty so that it could follow these visual cursors too? This would be very
helpful cause many of the interactive console programs use ncurses.
