Avery,
You may be right, but this depends on some design choices concerning the OS
layer in which we place jcurses. I mean, if jcurses is used like curses under
Unix then, in a single terminal/console (e.g. a single shell), an application
may open several windows. In this case, each window has the *same* terminal and
getting the _parent_ terminal should be right. But if jcurses is used to open
different windows that uses different terminals (e.g. different shells), my
choice is wrong! In this sense, I think we have to suspend implementations and
define a suitable architecure.

I completely agree with you :)))
