formatting '\n' of execve'ed programs

[Thomas Cort]

Hi All,

I'm writing a command shell for an assignment and I decided to use 
ncurses because of the colors, the ease of setting up raw keyboard 
mode (used for tab completion of filenames), and because I wanted to try 
something new ;)

One problem I've run into is that when I fork and use execve to run a 
command the output from that command is not formatted correctly. The next 
line starts directly below the last. 

example:
foo
   bar

should be:
foo
bar

Is there any way around this? Can someone point me to a man page, 
give me the name of a function or a website with a way to solve my 
problem?

Thanks!
Thomas
