curses question..

[Peter Morreale]

I hope this question is posted to the correct place....

I'm a fledgling C programmer who is attempting (;-) to write a 
small curses application.  The app. will be used by a small number of 
folks locally.  (This is mostly a learning exercise...)

What I'd like is some info on how to deal with cursor motion when the 
user hits a cursor key.  I intend to obtain input using getchar and need
to know how to detect when a cursor key is pressed for a couple of
different terminals.  (vt100 and xterm)

This is on Sun OS...( > 4.0)

Did I miss sumpthin in the Sun manuals?  (I have read the "Using Curses"
part several times.)

A code fragment would be wonderful...

Thanks for any insights...
