At a minimum I am trying to do the latter.....but the former would be more

PLease excuse my inexperience....curses or raw mode input?? Any places to
look for information on doing this?

Thanks for your help...it is already helped very much (in giving me places

Gotta love when a mechanical engineering tries to pretend he knows how to

Thanks!
