OK, I copied my libncurses.5.4.dylib from my 10.6 backup to my current system, and now arrow keys work in Mutt. Also, so far, everything else seems to work. Since boot up depends on libncurses I'll be a little nervous till I find out if that still works. I must have been confused previously when I evaluated the two versions of libncurses.5.4.dylib as having the same size. Now that I have them in the same folder (under different names, of course), they have different sizes. The old one is bigger. My efforts to raise this on one of the Apple discussion fori has failed miserably so far. (IF I have trouble booting -- unlikely -- I'll let you all know). Best, John V.
