	The AT&T UNIX System V Terminal Information Utilities Guide (select
code 305-424) is less worse than the above.  Both of the above publications
still leave a number of questions to be answered solely by trial and error
on the part of the programmer.
	Also, beware of bugs...  Like, on the 3B2 a call to echo() is NOT
effectual when using wgetstr(), mvwgetstr(), wscanw(), and mvwscanw(); i.e.,
there is no way for characters to be echoed when using the above functions.
echo() and noecho() DO work for getch(), wgetch(), and mvwgetch(), which
most people probably use anyhow.
