I have a problem using curses on a Sun 3/60 and if anybody could
help me I would be very grateful.
I have a simple routine which creates two curses windows. The
problem arises when I reach the bottom of the window. Anything
I type reappears on the bottom line as the window scrolls, which
produces an effect something like this
_______________________________________________________________________________
aaaaa - Before scrolling
aaaaa - After scrolling
aaaaa
_______________________________________________________________________________
If I type along the bottom line it overwrites this "echo". Also, if
I type a carriage return the window scrolls and the echo disappears.
The windows are open in crmode(), noraw() with noecho(), scrollok(),
and nl() set TRUE.
I realise that I'm asking a bit much, but if this is a well known
bug in our implementation of curses rather that something stupid
that I am doing (which is obviously more likely), it would save
me a bit of time to know about it.

(PS - we are running a fairly antiquated version of SunOS)
(PPS - If this is the wrong group to post this type of question
sorry - I couldn't find comp.curses.questions.)
