Message-ID: <223@wpg.UUCP> Date: 11 Dec 87 03:12:14 GMT Organization: WP Group, POB 306, Metairie, LA 70004 Lines: 18 To finish a project that I've been working on for some time, I will need to write a low level (non-curses), terminally independent function for positioning the cursor. I assume that this can be achieved using the terminfo routines. However, I've read the 'curses and terminfo' sections of my manual about a hundred times and have decided that I'm not anywhere close to deciphering the language used. Does someone out there in netland have any examples handy that would show a neophyte how to use the basic functions in terminfo, especially tparm(), tputs(), putp().
