ncurses or slang

did you contact Thomas Dickey, the author of ncurses with your problems?
I am not sure if he is still on this list (he used to be), but he is 
active at the ncurses list bug-ncurses at gnu.org and generally responsive to 
bug reports and helpful in solving complex usage cases.

           Sincerely, Michail
