wasn't this one of the features and capabilities of Borland's TurboVision stuff? 
looking at my TP/BP6 stuff, i see TVISION/APP.PAS contains the following ;)

{ TApplication object }

   PApplication = ^TApplication;
   TApplication = object(TProgram)
     constructor Init;
     destructor Done; virtual;
   end;


and then below that is procedure RegisterApp with constants like

Application: PProgram = nil;
DeskTop: PDesktop = nil;
StatusLine: PStatusLine = nil;
MenuBar: PMenuView = nil;
AppPalette: integer = apColor;


the TVDEMOS directory contains code related to forms and dialogue boxes, too... 
and all this done in textmode... no graphical modes at all...
