Moskowitz) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions Subject: A (possible dumb) CURSES question Message-ID: <2388@encore.UUCP> Date: 23 Dec 87 13:43:12 GMT Organization: Encore Computer Corp, Marlboro, MA Lines: 14 I've noticed that programs that use 'curses' seem to move the cursor to the bottom of the screen before exiting. When my multi-line prompt is output, the top few lines scroll off the top of my screen. When a program such as 'less' does this, I am forced to then type 'cat !$' if I needed to see what the first n lines were. IS THERE A WAY TO TELL CURSES TO NOT DO THIS? If so, how? As usual, please email responses and I will post a summary. Thanx, AdamM -- Adam S.
