I have made aplications in win95 (gui) using designer 1.3 (case), and final users are in unix (characted mode, using telnet) and there was no real problems, all worked about ok. All function keys except next block, previous block worked. THose keys didn't work if multi line fields

Bigger problem was desing screen so that you could see all fields and text nice in character mode. And of course screensize was just 24*80 characters

reports was easy, no problems.

But you must first check all necessary setup's by making one form and report in gui and test it in character mode.
