Be forwarned that many (all?) versions of curses use the ctl-H character
(which is the ANSI backspace) to move the cursor under some circumstances.  
Unfortunately, this is the cursor home character on a Dasher.  So far, I
have been unable to find a way to coerce curses \not/ to do this; it means
that the Dasher is not very usable as a Unix terminal.
