Text mode rendering

The text user interface (TUI) has been designed for character-based terminals. This mode can be used to run your application on a text terminal hardware or in a terminal emulator.

In order to run a Genero program on text mode, set the FGLGUI environment variable to 0 (zero).

In TUI mode, the application windows/forms will display within the current console/terminal window as shown.
