Thanks for the suggestion...

The reason I'm leaning more towards something that 'flows' is the nature of the screens and the workflow involved. Most of these screens have upwards of 70 fields, with many of those not necessary to the 'typical' operations performed. By using callouts, and possibly using voice, the necessary sequence of events to accomplish the typical tasks can hopefully be more easily visualized.

If it's a character-based UI, it can't be very fancy, so why not stay simple? Consider putting together a series of HTML pages with lots of screen shots and guiding text. You get the same content, but quick and easy to produce, simple to host, and fitting with the rest of the product.

Take a look at http://www.gardencomposer.com/demo-planner.html for an example of what I'm talking about.
