curses raw mode

[bdz]

hi

i have a problem with curses on openbsd 4.4. i can not set up to have 
raw(3) mode and receiving the KEY_F(n) values using getch(3). it always 
send the esc sequence: 27, 79, 80 for F1; 27, 79, 81 for F2 etc...


i am trying with:
initscr();
noecho();
raw();
keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
nodelay(stdscr, TRUE);

even the example [url] provided below produces the same result. do you 
have any idea how to set up curses to be able to receive the predefined 
values KEY_ using the getch(3) function?


thanks
bdz

The curses in base is quite old.  If you download and install the new
version from source, it works as expected.
