curses

Hi - I wondered if there were any tree libraries available for (n)curses.

I'm trying to write a component that shows a tree of folders & was curious if there was a prebuilt curses component that could do this.

I've checked 'core' curses as well as libraries like CDK - and I can't seem to find anything.

If none exists, I'm not averse to building my own - but I can't seem to locate any decent tutorials on doing this, so any help in this regard would also be much appreciated.

Thanks, Ace

However, I'm not sure how to redraw the stdscr with the n extra lines. Any ideas will be appreciate… >>> More

In my Python script which uses Curses, I have a subwin to which some text is assigned. Because the text length may be longer than the window size, the text should be scrollable.
