Thanks; it compiles now.  However, it does not do exactly what I try to 
make it do.  I am trying to make a roguelike game just to practice 
various algorithms, and the part I was working on is moving the '@' 
around the screen with the arrow keys and move().  Right now it just 
prints control sequences when I use the arrow keys.  I already tried 
this part of the code in DOS Watcom C/C++ and it worked... maybe it is 
the wrong screen mode.  Any suggestions on where to read about screen 
modes and keyboard I/O for Posix systems?
