User Interface Control on AIX Host for character/text based Application

I have hunted high and low and don't seem to be able to get a clear
idea of how to achieve what I need to do (which is pretty basic). I
want to write a Java Application (initialy on AIX v4 and then port it
AIX v5) which will provide a simply menu and data entry system for a
telnet client running on a Portable Data Terminal (eg. Symbol PDT 6800
series). I can do StdIn and StdOut but this does not allow me to trap
Function Keys. I am performing cursor positioning and highlighting but
would like better control of the keyboard.
Suggestions have been to write the Application in C rather than Java.
However, Java is my language and I have only limited skills in C. Also,
I don't have a AIX or even a Unix background.
So I am after some pretty clear instructions on how I might be able to
do this. I understand that I may need to use curses or the hybrid
ncurses libraries or even charva. But I am not sure how to do this in
Java on the AIX box.
Any sample code would be really appreciated to help me get started.
Kind Regards.
