Problem: How do you input cursor keys in curses ? Background: I want to show a menu on the screen which is similar to the one you get from SMG$ on VAX/VMS. The curses package available in C gives the problem that the cursor key is read either as terminator or as a sequence of three characters (e.g., <ESC> [ A ) in vt100 emulation instead of a cursor key. Please: I would be grateful if someone in netland could explain me what goes wrong on the vt100 emulation side or even get me a piece of code which reads in a cursor key correctly.
