Well -- that part was easy. The only problem is that the screen updating has problems now. Error messages are displayed on the top line, and while entering text, the cursor is displayed on the next line. I was hoping to avoid doing a refresh() after each keystroke to keep down the overhead, but it appears necessary so you can see what you type. Hopfully I'll get the thing working soon! -Bill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name: William D. Burton US Mail: P.O.
