Finer keystroke detection

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I've looked thru ncurses.h, and through man terminfo, and various other 
docuemntation, and for the life of me I cannot find how to detect things like 
Ctrl+Enter, Ctrl+F3, etc. These would be VERY handy for an app I'm writing.

I even wrote a keystroke detection program to print out the value of 
keystrokes as I type, and according to that program, Enter, Shift+Enter and 
Ctrl+Enter are identical. According to my program, the alt and Ctrl keys have 
no modification effect on function keys etc.

Could you tell me how to use Curses to make these distinctions?

Below my sig is the detection program I used.

Thanks

STeve
