The reason we use these ugly singleton *Manager objects is to avoid exactly this kind of plumbing. Since Ncurses is outside the Redwood namespace you'll need to refer to it as Redwood::BufferManager. > > What does "drop the input" mean? > It means returning nil instead of Ncurses.getch, so maybe a better way of > saying it is "We do not check for input because it would restart Ncurses > while in shell-out mode". Ok, that's how I read the code. When I saw "drop" in the comment I thought it was going to read input and throw it away. _______________________________________________ Sup-devel mailing list Sup-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-devel
