Command Line Genome Browser

Hi, I was wondering if there is a rudimentary version of a genome browser for command line. Sometimes I am in a position where I don't have x windows and so I'd like a replacement. Like when I use Lynx instead of Firefox sometimes, or samtools tview instead of IGV...

If there isn't one I think this would be an awesome project for a programmer :)

I appreciate it but it still requires x windows even though it has a very ascii feel.

Also I don't think it shows genes, etc, like a genome browser would. It looks like a tview clone but with lots of features.
