I am working on a program that uses System V curses on a Sun 386i. The problem I have is that the getch function is not passing the ESC character through to my program. According to the documentation, when the ESC is typed, curses sets a timer. If no character matching a keypad sequence is received before the timer expires, then ESC should be passed to the program. My program justs sits there forever after ESC is pressed. Has anybody seen this? Any help would be appreciated. I've RTFM. If you have a simple program that can read an ESCape key from the terminal (and also properly interprets the keypad keys) I'd like to see it. I have tried to compile this without System V and can't get the program to load. Michael Morse Internet: mmorse@note.nsf.gov National Science Foundation BITNET: mmorse@NSF
