Greetings. That's only half of it - the fact is that there are a
lot of curses systems that are too dumb to "intelligently" repaint
the screen - of even if they can, the terminal is too dumb.

The problem here is that it's right on the border of my C "abilities".
I hate to say it but: feel free :-) I figure that work can continue on
"The" way of doing it - which Fote will eventally approve (hopefully) -
and I'll just keep on peddling my patches. Besides, it only took me a
few days to memmorize the frequent bookmarks - I almost never look at
the list... unless I want to put it in some category I can't remember.
I figure that for my uses, what is there is just right. Let me re-
state my objective: to be able to sort the bookmarks into more than a
dozen categories AT THE TIME when I'm saving them. A few 400KB
bookmark files made me realize this REAL QUICK :-|
Take care.
