+A high level plan for the pygame UI
+===================================
+
+The interface consists of a single window (SDL under all this,
+remember :-).  This is owned by an instance of the Terminal class.
+
+The screen is divided into a number (for the prototype, 1 :-)
+"InputCell", which for now we think of as a view of a file.
+
+Obviously a file view might be larger than the window, so each input
+cell knows which part of the view it's looking at.
+
+The terminal has a Cursor object, which indicates which InputCell is
+active (has focus, whatever).
+
+Drawing
+-------
+
+not too hard: the input cell knows the text it's displaying and which
+bit of it too display, so it renders this into a bitmap and blits it
+onto the screen.
+
+Event Handling
+--------------
+
+A much more interesting area...
