I am having difficulty in using curses and would appreciate some help,
if anybody can help.
Please E-MAIL me if you have the answer as I rarely get time to read
news. If you too would like to receive any replies I get, please let
me know. If it is interestingly difficult, rather than my own
stupidity, I'll post the answer later.
Here is the problem:
I have a 24x80 screen and would like to put a character in the last
column on the last line without the terminal scrolling. The terminal
I have has auto-margins, which seems to force the scroll on refresh,
no matter what I do. I have created curses windows with no scrolling,
which return an error and do not place anything in the that position,
and I have tried to fool the termcap file into thinking that my
terminal does not have auto-margins, which causes curses to add an
extra scroll line at the end. All I simply want is a stationary
non-scrolling screen in which I can address all 24x80 chaaracter
positions.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
