You guys have been a lot of help already.  CNTX liked the curses.c file in
its original form, so it isn't seeing the missing NEWLINE.  That's why it
was telling me everything was fine, while the compiler ws telling me I had
problems.

I've downloaded the revised curses.lzh file and will start on that.
