I know the feeling it took me a while too. > iv read a few of the tuts out there and get what there saying > but i cant write my own Can you tell us a) What OS are you using - Curses only really works on Linux/Unix style systems in my experience. b) Which particular curses tutorial did you read? c) What you are trying to do d) What code have you tried? And how does it fail? Its a lot easier for us to address specific questions than to try to write a generic introduction to curses.Especially when several of those already exist. The thinghs you find hard to understand might not be the same things I struggled with... The key things to remember are to initialise the screen first and restore it last: import curses # curses needs to initialize the screen # so that it can control it. screen = curses.initscr() # rest of program here... # create viewports/windows etc# manipulate cursor, write text...curses.endwin() HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
