    I try this in a VAX-6310 running Ultrix 3.0 and I get an strange
  result. First of all I need to add the keypad(stdscr,TRUE) option,
  and when I compile the program with the 'cc' compiler, it doesn't
  return the correct KEY_* number, but if I compile the same program
  with the 'vcc' (Vax CC) compiler it works fine.
    Somebody could explain this?
