In no particular order...

I was referring to splitting up some existing code, in ways that I find 
reminiscent of MVC.

I don't, um, view having a physical display device as being necessary 
for an MVC-like app design.

Databases would usually be part of the model, were an OpenVMS app 
(re)written akin to MVC.

For some environments, partitioning and isolating the database-level 
calls are just as interesting as partitioning and isolating the 
display-level API calls, too.

I'm going to keep partitioning the display-related work out of the 
existing apps and into separate hunks, and I'm going to suggest updates 
to the VSI doc.

This as part of isolating dependencies, and of isolating areas that can 
or will or have changed, or where requirements or preferences are 
changing.  Away from character-cell UIs, for instance.
