Obviously. A 'C' programmer would have written:

	while( ((ch=getch()) < '1' || ch > '5') && ch != 'E')
		beep();
	addch(ch);
	refresh();

It's considered bad form to have a for loop with more than 1 empty feild.
Now that you're using a construct that doesn't exist in FORTRAN or BASIC
do you feel better?
