It should also include fairly complete html documentation. The ncurses package is sort-of in limbo right now as they try to sort out who the official maintainer is, so the release that the above link points to might be withdrawn eventually, and the release that the above link points to is not the one included with FreeBSD, but it should have the most up-to-date and comprehensive documentation. :) It explains colour-pairs quite well. :) -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
