twice)

I'm attempting to write my first curses program and have already run into
a couple of problems.

The first one involves interpretation of input keys.  How can one tell the
difference between the forward and backward tabs??  When I run my test   
program, I get 0x09 for both.  In addition, the code I'm getting in my
test program for a return is different that the code which is returned in
the real program (0x0a vs. 0x0d) and yes, these two programs are being run
on the same system.      

Sooo, could some curses guru out there possibly tell me what's going on???


Thanks,
