'Fraid I'm not very knowledgeable in that area. A good read of `man ncurses' is probably a good idea, maybe also `man tset' and `man terminfo'. I see that there is also a debug version of ncurses (which may or may not be available on your system) which may shed some light on your problem. Apparently you just link with -lncurses_g rather than -lncurses and it writes actions to a log file called `trace'. -- Lionel B _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
