Hmmm...you don't suppose nCurses also includes normal color ANSi as well? 
Right now my code does not have any color in it.  If so, I could tolerate the 
clear screens as long as it doesn't interfere with game play.

I'm hoping there is.  I used the header, windows.h, I believe, but, it would 
not work with linux obviously and I wanted the code to be portable to both 
dos and linux.  So, I've been looking around. I'll be glad when I start 
working on my BS degree in a few years and really dig into programming.
