Hello,
	I need some help using curses.  I want to use the keypad keys -
	arrow, function keys, etc. - in a program I'm writing.  The version
	of curses here at Pitt does not support the keypad() command.  Our
	version of unix (ultrix) uses termcap, not terminfo.  Is there a 
	way to read and use those keys that is compatible with curses?
	Also, is there a way that is portable, too?

	Thanks in advance...

	John Center
