       I am currently involved in some software development that requires
       the use of the curses termcap library. Under terminfo, there is a
       function called nodelay(), which makes functions such as getch(),
       return a value of -1 when there is no keyboard input. What I
       require is the same handling of character input with the ability
       to turn the delay on and off, such as nodelay() and delay(). Any
       suggestions, or remedies would be greatly appreciated. If your
       solution is not worth netting about, email to the address below.
