Well, once again, I dropped the ball here. I thought I had put it on CPAN; I did get permission from the author to do that. I know I was working on it about 4 years ago, but got sidetracked. I'll see if I can dig into this sometime this week.

That code  implements display routines.  It has some input routines but not SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE.  Mine only has the keyboard routines.
