Grinder - Curses programming

This is the thing for programming text GUI programs. Note that Curses is zero based. (0,0) is the upper left corner of the screen. On my current 25 inch display, with a full screen window, I get 71 lines and 254 cols.

Ncurses is it these day. Plain old "curses" was a System V unix proprietary thing. Not that it matters, Ncurses has grown well beyong the original Curses.
