Is there any reason that I cannot use getch() with the "wide version" of the forms library. When I pass values from getch() into the form_driver, numbers and KEY_XXX macros work, but alpha-characters do not. Do I need to be converting the values from getch() somehow?
ASCII characters (32-127) should work, but Latin-1 (160-255) and other coding can run into problems if you're using a UTF-8 locale. That's
what wget_wch() is for. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
