Text characters? Like all ASCII?
I would think the ncurses library might be appropriate for that, in which case C, or any language that has ncurses bindings (like Python) should be fine.

Yeah I knew there was a route to this in C, but aren't we talking *nix here? Seems like a heckuva an install just for something she may only use for a few hours.
I really like the idea of starting her with C, though. There's a couple good books out there, and as long as she stays away from pointers and macros it shouldn't be too much.
Modern environments are just so complex. Geesh. I'd hate to be starting today.
