This sets the WINDOW size to the physical screen size, which is not what I want. I want the rest of the terminal to be unaffected with just a single terminal-input line at the end. I tried (and tried..) various combinations of setupterm and newwin, but I couldn't quite get it to work. Is there a "curses" way to do this or am I stuck using termcap?
Generally curses deals with full-screen stuff (in part because some terminals used to behave radically different in full-screen vs command-line). It does implement a function "filter()", which tells
ncurses to limit itself to a single line. There's an example in the ncurses sources (test/filter.c) which demonstrates this. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
