- It is pretty easy, but it is best you look at sample code. Use the man
- command to look up termdef or terminfo (your machine will use one or the
- other or both). The man page may have sample code or links to sample
- code. Since these functions are pretty near specific to unix and its
- variants, I would suggest future posts go to a unix-related group.
- You'll get more helpful help, and you won't get flamed (or ignored)
- as some who frequent here tend to do.
