   Now thank YOU :) I think I'll easily find neccessary information on it.
I didn't know about tiget* functions before your question. But I thought
"well, there is no direct termcap/info interfaces, may be curses?" and
found all neccessary things in docs :) I ran an example, got a traceback
with the mesage "at least run setupterm()" - and voila! :)

Oleg.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
