Hi,
Sorry for the slow response. I was away last weekend and I've been busy
with work. I'm back again though now. :o)

Plain ncurses does not have any widgets. But there is libform/panel/menu

That sounds good. Personally, I'd be happy with the previous suggestion
(SPACE/ENTER to continue, ESCAPE to never see again). I just wondered if
ncurses provided any widgets we could use, that's all.
Just a thought: If you do decide to implement some TAB-navigable
"widgets", you should try to keep all ncurses-specific code separate
from the general code. I'm thinking about the time when we add a
switchable front-end (so you can choose between ncurses and, say, GTK).
It would be really nice if we could offer options for configure to build
with/without ncurses or GTK. So at some point we'll probably need to
pull out all the ncurses-specific code in to its own file.
Hmm, I don't know about adding more colours (I'm worried it would start
looking garish!),
I think we should do this optionally (turned off by default, if you
want).
Ok. That sounds fine. When I've got a config file working, we can add
configuration options to it to control the interface colours.
I wish you (and all other subscribers) a merry christmas.
And happy new year from me! :o)
