You are absolutely correct on the cause for the curses problems. Earlier today, one of the people working on the development of this project wrote me and suggested the same thing. I do have the TERM environmental variable set, but it is set to vt100 because I use MSKermit which emulates a vt320 terminal. vt320 is a superset of the vt100's and vt102's. You usually can't go too wrong if you choose that setting. He suggested I try ansi as one of the terminal types and so far, so good. I tried netrik on one of our javascript-run sites produced by Lotus Notes, actually Lotus Domino which is what they call their web authoring device and I think I see the dawning of a new day. This is definitely an effort which may turn out to be something big. The authors say in several places that this is new code and I noticed that one of the files I downloaded on Friday had a date of the day before. These folks who have started this project have gotten off on the right foot as far as I can tell and we should all be patient and, if you can, roll up your sleeves and help grow it in to a good mature application. The code is neat and modular from what little I have looked at it and the documentation explains how it works.
