Hi

I explained the reasons I would like to avoid use ncurses in another
post in thsi thread. Maybe I'm making a mistake, I'm open to every
suggestion. Anyway I understand the way you suggest and I'll try to get
more info. An example code would be very helpful, do you know where is
possible to get one?

Thank you
