Message: [QUOTE="Walter Roberson, post: 2434841"] Not really. termcap or terminfo give you convenient ways of representing which character sequence means which arrow key. If you have turned off echo and all you need is to know which arrow key has been pressed, then terminfo / termcap or any other such correspondance table would do just as well. If you want to be able to position the cursor to a particular point on the screen, -then- you bring in curses rather than reinventing the wheel. Provided, that is, that you are working with a text-based output rather than a graphical output.... but of course if you are working with graphical output, you are rather distant from the original goal of using pure C to deal with arrow keys.
