PowerHouse on HP-UX -- User interface?

Hi Everyone,

I have a real basic, probably quite naive question about Quick on HP-UX.

Does Quick still run in 'green screen' mode, or do we need to use x-windows?
Does Quick use the curses library to paint the screen forms, or just 
escape sequences?
Does Quick on HP-UX support the same terminal types as Quick on the 
3000? (i.e. can we use reflection?)

My gut feeling to the above is:
Yes, no x-term required.
No, just escape sequences.
Yes, basically.
But, I would appreciate confirmation of what my gut is telling me, as we 
are going to become a PH on HP-UX shop within the next coupla years.

Thanks!
