Correct. curses knows nothing about the GUI window. Curses is a windowing toolkit for use inside a standard 24x80 text terminal. You can have multiple small windows inside the screen and move/resize them. Each one can have its own individual textual content. It is how we built forms based applications before GUIs were invented. Nowadays it's mostly used for screen and cursor control within the single main window. (A similar graphical text style framework on DOS was TurboVision by Borland). If you used curses to draw a border round your window then call resizeterm you might see something happening... -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
