Hi,
for capturing arrow and function keys, as I remember, you have to use getch() twice; I mean when you press a function key, the first getch() returns a 0 and the second returns a code. 
Good luck!
Hamid

Hi,
That's what I've been reading about - the getch() function. Thanks for some 
directions...
Cheers,
Joseph

Hello,
To catch key press, you can use getch on windows, I don't know the linux
equivalent but I'm sure it exists.
To move the cursor, change color, etc. , on windows there are specialized
functions (see MSDN), on linux you can send ANSI escaped sequences
(wikipedia has the list)
