Thanks anyway. 

I'm taking a look at text.py in the anaconda source code tree here: 
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/anaconda.git?
p=anaconda.git;a=blob_plain;f=text.py;hb=HEAD

I'm afraid it looks as though newt was primarily built to display a 
series of forms in order, like an installer does, so it is inherently 
limited by that interface. However, it might still be what I can use...
