I'm not sure what you're indicating here.  Are you saying in the "curses
configuration" that the popup menu is moved to the left until the longest
line among the options of the menu fits on the screen?  (Or are you
confirming that shifting the screen ('{' and '}') are only available with
curses?

The former, "fitting the line into the terminal space", should work
with SLang as well, not just curses.
