Every time I try to use MVC I find it impossible to cleanly
separate the view from the controller. I need the view's
knowledge how the things on the screen relate to the things
inthe model to interpret what the user does at the terminal.

Separating the model isn't all that difficult.

I have to consider the VC as a bidirectional lens, the two
directions of information flow seem inseparable.
