If you're talking about those cute little white-on-black "screens",
DocBook's <SCREEN> element is sitting there just waiting to be
used.  There's no <CURSOR> element in 3.0, so unless extensions
are created (which I gather are going to be created anyway), we
don't get the cute little blinking underline.

Right now, Norm Walsh's DSSSL sheet renders a simple <PRE>
tag, but it could be convinced to do otherwise.  I don't know how
do make the stylesheet do that, though, I just write DocBook :)
