Hi Thomas :)

Maybe I just have the wrong examples. From Dan Gookin's Programmer's 
guide to ncurses page 161 it says:
Unlike the WINDOW type of pointer you do not specify a * when declaring 
a mouse event variable. But you do use the & when specifying the 
variable name in the getmouse() function.
MEVENT musevent ;
getmouse(&musevent) ;


Can this be safely ignored and can I just use MEVENT as WINDOW  like so?
MEVENT * mevent_via_ptr ;
getmouse(mevent_via_ptr) ;


Thanks for your valuable time ! -Patrick
