ANSI Terminal Help Needed

Howdy,

Thanks in advance.

I am looking for suggestions from ANYONE about the a good way to create an
old style 24 row by 80 column ANSI terminal "view".

My thoughts are:

1. A matrix of 80 cells by 24 cells with one letter in each cell.
(seems like a lot of work.)

2. A matric os 24 cells each containing an 80 character mutable string.
(seems like a hybrid solution.)

3. A single NSMutableString of 1920 characters forced to "wrap" at 80
columns by restricting the window size.
(seems like a bone-headed idea.)

Basically, I have done virtually no text work in Cocoa (but man am I good at
encryption and timers!) and just need some pointers to get me started in
emulating a 1960's terminal with a 2002 OS.

Thanks guys.
