 System calls like read and write, when interrupted after the signal
handler function is
 done, return a value < 0 and put EINTR into errno. But getch and wgetch
routines from
 curses when interrupted return from signal handler,  and wait for user input.

 Does anyone know how to make getch or wgetch to return to the program
after the 
 interrupt rather than waiting for user input.

 BTW I am using Xopen curses under V4.0 of Ultrix.

 Thanks in advance

 Regards
 Suresh
