I guess it doesn't hurt anything to leave it in. Yeah, the entire ncurses setup is completely cargo-cult programming. I have no idea why it works, and changing any bit of it breaks everything in weird ways. -- William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
