In other words, with some work, it is possible to get a professional
looking and acting terminal application using the cygwin Unix
environment but bypassing the cygwin terminal window.

Actually, it looks like the problem is the cygwin fread() function which
apparently converts cursor-movement and control keys to vtxxx escape
sequences Unix-style.  If you use the slang library with the Windows
console option, then you need to write a GetKey() function that translates
from Windows to vtxxx so that programs using libslang.a can find the function
keys and things like pageup and pagedown.
