Zingo!  So it isn't just my imagination or a bug in my code!  I've
been going nuts for the last week trying to find out why a program
using SCO's curses library doesn't work.  You type "abcdefg" at it
and you are likely as not to get something like "agcdp ph".  I
figured it was a stray pointer bug in my code clobbering something
in the curses library code.  Maybe not...

The same code works fine under Ultrix and Apple A/UX.
