Curses

[Fabio]

am using the version of PythonD 1,1 in MSDOS but I do not succeed to
use the curses in order to make the masks. Bringing back the error
that they give to me:
 
D:\PYTHON\SAMPLES>python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Dec 14 2002, 13:18:37)
[GCC 3.0.4] on ms-dos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import curses
>>> curses.initscr()
Error opening terminal: unknown.

D:\PYTHON\SAMPLES>



someone can help me?
