Bingo. I *thought* I was okay, but I wasn't refreshing until the end of the display loop, so I never saw all the addstr() calls that had succeeded but which had yet to be painted. Adding a refresh() call in the loop exposed my ignorance. Thx Ian, Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
