I am trying to do a number of things in curses, without too much luck. So, I thought I could ask a few questions here that hopefully someone could answer: 1. When I do a move(ypos, xpos) in curses, how to I REALLY get the cursor to the proper position? (I tried to refresh() the screen, but it didn't seem to work properly. The cursor kept going all over the place.) 2. When I try to highlight a space on the screen (Like a spreadsheet does on a field when it passes over it), how do I A) Get the termcap entry? B) Print out the termcap entry? C) Turn the highlighting off? 3. How do tgetnum, tgetstr, etc. really work? (The manual is pretty abstract.) and finally, 4. Are there any known bugs (or difficult workarounds) in curses that I should know about? Thanks for all the help... ____________________________________________________________________________ Matt Robinson, UC Riverside (yakker@ucrmath.ucr.edu, ..!ucsd!ucrmath!yakker)
