I have an application I am writing that requires the ability to have two curses' windows up on a vt100 screen with one window showing output and the other showing keyboard input and echoing. The application forks off a child process to do the output processing and the parent does the keyboard i/o. The problem I have is that when some output gets written to the output window it screws up the cursor for the keyboard window, i.e. resets it to position 0,0. I have tried using ptys but I have not be able to get them to work properly. My question is 1) is what I want to do possible? and 2) if so, could somebody send a code fragment my way?
