    No. On curses there is no "graphic" element.

    No. On forms-only PalmOS the graphics are not part the libraries
    concern. It never uses "graphics" only resource handles, any
    maybe, just maybe, a co-ordinate or two.

    Are we talking about the same thing? Interface and implentation
    are overloaded terms.
