Is there any reason that I cannot use getch() with the "wide version" of
the forms library.  When I pass values from getch() into the
form_driver, numbers and KEY_XXX macros work, but alpha-characters do
not.  Do I need to be converting the values from getch() somehow?

ASCII characters (32-127) should work, but Latin-1 (160-255) and other coding can run into problems if you're using a UTF-8 locale. That's
what wget_wch() is for.
