Maybe this is a silly idea, but... Did you run the example program in Konsole? If so, you can't expect it to do anything visible.
You're perfectly right, i just tested with rxvt and eterm. But 1) how did you guess i used konsole :-) ? 2) is there a reason why this doesn't work (and should be reported as a bug to konsole maintainers) ?
That's not a bug, that's a feature :-) Konsole restores automatically the previous screen contents after the curses shut down (-> your example doesn't leave a visible trace). Moreover it buffers the screen output, so that rapid changes are merged together to reduce the load on X server (-> you don't even see a flash or something like that). This should work though: program Test (Input, Output); uses Crt; begin WriteLn ('Hello world!'); Write ('Press ENTER, svp... '); ReadLn end. Emil Jerabek
