Hmmm, excellent.  Looks like the user interface is defined
pretty tightly in here, with something like 3270 terminals
in mind.

Would gnubol support ansi colors and ncurses, or what?

In practice, are the cobol-provided terminal io primitives
still used much, or are front-ends taken over by GUIs?  Or
is a custom GUI the first thing a vendor adds?
