Thomas,

Too much for me. It is way complicated for what I needed. I ended up using
the getch with timeout. When a character was entered (not a function key),
the update was stopped, the last character was put back on the command line
and used getstr to obtain the entire entered command. The screen does not
update when data entry is occurring, but this is acceptable. Thanks.

Will
