Yes, that makes good sense. >Also, you still haven't told us what application is having problem with it, >it is some mystery "some app". Where I ran into it is DJGPP termios input on MS-DOS. >And provided this hasn't been a problem for so many years, Perhaps it hasn't been observed before because the curses UI may not have that many users. I myself must use it as, being blind, it's much easier for me to work in text mode than in graphics mode. >maybe we shouldn't add it in the first place? Given that this feature does resolve a problem, given that it's default retains the original behaviour, and given that we have no idea whatsoever regarding when the problem may strike again, my personal opinion is that implementing it now would be a reasonable thing to do, especially since the current situation is that no one is being asked to figure it out, code it, etc. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
