Hmmm. Don't see why this wouldn't be possible.

I'd need to get each client to store what's on the screen in a format that
an interface module could access it

There are 2 ways to do this,

A) concentrate purely on the text menu's on the devices and store the
current screen lines

B) store a picture of the current screen

'B' would be much better, though would be more intensive (and memory
hungry)
to keep up-to-date

Perhaps 'A' would be better with the interface drawing the menu screen,
therefore keeping it a separate process for those who don't want to use it.

Will have to think about it

Regards
Tony
