I need help from a CURSES hacker preferably under XENIX. I am using the standard CURSES interface in my application and I've run into the following problems. 1. I am unable to locate "wattrset()" function, nor are the constant attributes A_STANDOUT, A_UNDERLINE, A_BLANK, etc. defined anywhere i've tried, such as: "curses.h" or "term.h". All I've found is "wstandout()" and "wstandend()"...... And I'd like to avoid using lower level variables such as: SO, SE, US, UE, etc. 2. For some strange reasons the "wcleartoel()" does not work in all cases, although it is clear that it is being executed, by the way I do "wrefresh(win)" after I try to clear to end of line. I found that "nl()", crbreak(), etc. can cause some strange results, but I was unable to solve the "wcleartoel()" problem yet. 3. The output on my WYSE-50 terminal looks like you know what, while when I use "vi()" and some other cursor addressing programs things seem to be normal. The problem I've noticed is that the column addressing seems to be brain damaged, while rows seem to make sense. The output on the XENIX monitor is O.K. 4. If you have solved these problems or know the solution please reply by E-mail or you may call collect Mike at: (619) 452 - 8711 Your TIME and help are greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your version of curses is V7 based not System V. Given this one could write a new wclrtoeol() function. The other things you mention don't apply to V7 curess (like the attribute stuff) brad
