I have been putting the finishing touches on a personal text editor which reads keyboard input from a vt terminal in raw mode and responds to keystrokes in an appropriate manner. I would like to be able to use the DEL key to delete the character at the cursor position, but have not found the right way to get this keystroke to return a unique escape sequence; instead it always returns a '.'. If I use exactly the same code on an Ultrix system using cursesX instead of curses, I do get a unique escape sequence. What do I need to do to get curses to work like cursesX in this case?? Thanks, Les Pennington
