Running console-mode vim (not gvim) in GNOME's terminal emulator

There's some sort of cheating going on under the hood there, then,
unless there was manglage you couldn't recognize not being familiar
with all of the languages in question. Most likely the sneaky bit is
buried somewhere in the phrase "GNOME's terminal emulator". I
challenge anyone to make something like this work on the actual,
honest-to-God console, no X services running, no WM loaded, no
nothing. Preferably on an old 386 with only an EGA card so it will be
frankly obvious if the software has "cheated" and is using graphics
mode because everything looks like a Saturday-morning cartoon modulo
blocky pixelization. :)
