Umm, what are "qxl" characters. This is probably something to do with your setup. libforms just uses ncurses and ncurses decides what a ACS_VLINE etc actually is for a particular terminal. > going up with the arrow keys from the QUIT field leaves a "Ca" on the > bottom line (from a previous "Can't go up from this field" message). Looks like a bug. I don't see much point in carrying on with fixing little things like this since this thread started because people want to yank it. I only wanted to fix a few little things to make it actually run so those who were interested could see what the basic idea behind it was. I'll come back to libforms sometime soon since it's actually very close to being finished now that I look at it again but it'll probably not be as part of the FreeBSD project. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.
