ncurses

[Sven Schuster]

Hello,

I have a question concerning ncursing:
I used some other curses libraries in some programs, and no I've compiled my
programs in Linux but it seems like I have a problem with the ncurses
library: when I hit the keys on my keyboard repeatedly and fast, my program just
gets the escape from the entire sequance and leaves because the escape-key is
used to leave the current dialog or menu.

I hope you can help me, because I've already tried to set some environment
variables like "ESCDELAY"  without any effect, and I don't know how to go
further on with this problems. Did I make any mistakes, can the problem be 
solved
with a environment variable, or do I have to change my sources in order to
work correctly with ncurses? 
I don't really know what version of the library I use, it's one packaged
with SuSE Linux 7.3, but it seems to be something like 5.2, date 2001-02-10
(I've got this values from the curses.h header file)

Thank you in advance

Yours sincerely

Sven Schuster
