The problem here is that filePro (or any console app) is not connected
to the data stream between the telnet server and client.

It's been a few years since I've telnetted into a Windows box, but as I
recall, the daemon would basically "sync" the display with the client by
occasionally doing a delta between what the client currently thinks is
the display, and what should be displayed, and sending the ANSI sequences
needed to do the update.  I would assume that it would still work in the
same general way.  (After all, except for SHOW RAW, filePro isn't even
sending anything out the I/O stream to display things on the screen.
The same would hold true for any console app doing full-screen I/O.)

There is no way that I know of for filePro to insert a "local print on,
send data, local print off" sequence to the client.
