Help! Terminal i/o problem...

[Tom Bannon]

I have a C program that creates two curses "windows" and then forks off
one process to write to the first window in an infinite loop and another
process to read from input entered in the second window.  The problem is
that whenever the writer process writes to its window it does a carriage
return in the reader window! :-(   I was hoping for independent cursor
action between the two windows of course.

Any terminal i/o gurus out there who can tell me what is going on and
how I can fix it?  As you might be able to tell I am rather in the dark
on this topic and have not been able to locate any relevant documentation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Tom Bannon
