Jumped back into the ncurses tutorial, now up to section 12.
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/mouse.html EDIT 2013-12-24
For the current debian stable, using xterm program GNOME Terminal v3.4.1.1 with default settings, the ncurses tutorial program did not seem to get passed the mouse events, so I may want to stick to using Arrow Key navigation for my ncurses_834v5010generator prototype.
To compile ncurses tutorials that use panels
gcc ncurses13.c -Wall -lncurses -lpanel
To compile ncurses tutorials that use menus
gcc ncurses15.c -Wall -lmenu -lcurses
To compile ncurses tutorials that use forms
gcc ncurses15.c -Wall -lcurses -lform
EDIT 2013-12-25
Updated the source code for my _834v5010generator program. Added Ncurses834v5010view.cpp and Ncurses834v5010view.h. Made sure both source code files that will have ncurses code, included the URL to the Debian Stable license file for ncurses (and even quoted part of it) for good karma.
