Curses(3) help

[attisswd at uokvax.UUCP]

	I was wondering if it is possible to use curses(3) on
	a different tty than you are logged in on. I have change
	initscr.c to do its initialization on a file descriptor
	that's passed to it.
	Example:
		fd = open("/dev/tty10",2);
		initscr(fd);
	This does not work. Since initscr() uses ioctl(2) to do its
	work , I don't see why this would not work (assuming all 
	the permissions are right).
