No problem.  Come to think of it, though, nCurses might not be the best 
answer for Linux.  I've worked with nCurses before, and I know it has 
functions that input a single character from the user without the user having 
to press Enter, but nCurses is a full-blown character interface library 
dealing with "screen" structures; you need to initialize nCurses before you 
use any of its functions, and then de-initialize it when you're done, and the 
process of doing that will clear the screen.

I imagine there must be some C or C++ function in Linux that does what you 
want to do.
