There's a low level API that it uses to actually do stuff on the screen.
(Then there's some Lua utility functions for drawing boxes and the
like.) The Lua bindings are here:

http://wordgrinder.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/wordgrinder/wordgrinder/file/f658d1e8f1f3/src/c/screen.c

This then calls the appropriate backend to do the work; the ncurses
backend is here:

http://wordgrinder.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/wordgrinder/wordgrinder/file/f658d1e8f1f3/src/c/arch/unix/cursesw/dpy.c

There's also an experimental GDI backend for Windows, but it still needs
work.
