curses - problem... NO

[Don Ingli]

the reason curses wont write to the bottom right character is that most
line-by-line terminals automaticly pushes everything up one line when the
last possible character on the screen is written.

I programm in curses all the time.  Our terminals all have 25 lines, so
what you need to do is write all of your windows for a max of 24...

Vt100 emulators generally use 24 lines as the max... check your
termcap.

Oh, try not to use LINES and COLUMNS in your programming... just assume
an 80 X 24 screen.....  Remember, you want your programs written so that
they can be used with all emulators/terminals.....

If you need any pointers, just mail me....
