I was going along, and I used "A_REVERSE" in my code, according to the online docs. Exception, didn't recognize the name. That didn't make sense; this attribute is basic to curses. So I started investigated versions of Python, ncurses, Python curses, etc. But as it turns out, instead of typing "A_REVERSE", I should have ignored the docs and typed "curses.A_REVERSE". That worked, and obviated the whole versioning problem. Paul -- Paul M.
