I am running an application program over a half-duplex network which does its own echoing, so although UNIX is printing no characters to the screen on user input, they're there nonetheless. I need such a hack so that I can force Curses to erase a line on a window in which input has been previously typed, otherwise, unless there's an intervening clear screen, user input is typed over previous characters. Any help you can give will be vastly appreciated, --Lorien Y. Pratt Dartmouth College Library Hanover, NH 03755 decvax!dartvax!lorien
