Thanks for the answer. I am old enought to have written a bit of code with it, just prior to the form tag.

But not much code, since already the curses lib was stretching my talents for layouts and my aesthetical eye. :-)

'curses' was quite neat to use and if that resulted in cursing, I hope the responsible programmer never used gui libs!

(-: And, no, it didn't hurt my eye when my aesthetical eye was stretched, but the viewers' eyes. Should lay off the language jokes when I am on shaky idiomatic ground. :-)
