....obeisance to the bugs of yore ...
I'm trying to develop a simple program using curses, with
the curious limitation of having only an online manual. Can
someone explain how to use getstr(str) so it thinks a <cr>
represents the end of the string and goes on to the next part of
the program? Thanks. ... mail replies are fine, if this seems
too trivial to bother the net with...

I had the same problem about a year ago, and posted the same request. Ken Arnold replied (paraphrasing) that getstr() and its close relatives were not used by anyone when he did his development, and thus they had never been fully debugged. I think your best bet is to: do your own I/O parsing with getch() or fix getstr() yourself. I used the former 'fix'. -- --- UUCP: ..!ihnp4!chinet!uklpl!rlk || MCIMail: rklappal || Compuserve: 74106,1021 ..!ihnp4!ihu1h!rlk ---
