Hi,

I am porting a text program from DOS. 

The original is written in Borland C++ using their console I/O library
<conio.h> and int86(51,...) for the mouse. 
 
1. "curses" beats "conio", but I have no clue how to enter color...
2. From mouse.h and psm.c that I found it is difficult to learn on the API.

Can you please tell me where are the relevant docs or some
programming-examples. 

Thanks, Enoch.

P/S Will this ported program run under X?
