15459 * The C++ should compile ok. I've added explicit rules to the
15462 At the moment ncurses will switch to cbreak() if the case above
15463 occurs. Should it continue to do so? How about echo() and noraw()?
15464 * PDCurses seem to assume that wclear() will use current attribute
15465 when clearing the screen. According to Eric this is not the case
15467 * I have discovered, to my chagrin, SunOS 4.x (and probably other systems)
