PDCurses wasn't broken -- Lynx was. Specifically, it made an implicit assumption about the value of ERR. My patch just makes it explicit. I don't actually like my patch, but it was the minimum change I could make without disrupting anything else. What I'd really prefer would be a massive rewrite of Lynx's keyboard handling. Maybe I'll try that one of these days... _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
