I meant to say "as a compatible subset of the Python 'curses' module API". I don't know what's so difficult about porting curses. Maybe it's that the DOS console is too broken, or maybe too many Unixisms are exposed by the API (can you get a signal when the DOS console window is resized?). (Alex Martelli simply wrote something like this in his Python book: "I hear about curses ports to Windows now and then, but I've never seen one that worked". Something like that.) /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ snipabacken.dyndns.org> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
