ncurses tutorial?

[Tristan]

I am trying to learn to use the ncurses library (this is my first time
dealing with writing decent UIs for the console), and i am getting tired
of trying to piece together the information in the manual pages, can
anyone point me to a few tutorials or faqs?

You should have received 'ncurses-intro' with your ncurses distribution
Look at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses

I am doing the same, here is a couple:

I may have a couple of others as bookmarks on other computers. I would
appreciate anything that you could send me as well. The easiest example
that I have found so far is dselect the debian package manager.
Unfortunately, I need to work on my C some and following how curses is used
there is giving me some problems. My biggest concern is how to map the
keystrokes to functions. ( ncurses gives good access to a lot of keystrokes
but a lot it doesn't seem to) Just what keystroke is what on the keyboard
is still a bit of a problem for me.

Hope this helps :)
