Zingo! So it isn't just my imagination or a bug in my code! I've
been going nuts for the last week trying to find out why a program
using SCO's curses library doesn't work. You type "abcdefg" at it
and you are likely as not to get something like "agcdp ph". I
figured it was a stray pointer bug in my code clobbering something
in the curses library code. Maybe not...
The same code works fine under Ultrix and Apple A/UX.
