Is ncurses related with curses? (I guess so) Ah, memories... I used curses =
_many_ years ago, when I was a student and I thought that the name was quit=
e appropriate... :-/  Especially when the usual segmentation fault left you=
r VT100 monitor [yes, I am that old!] in an unusable state, forcing you to =
logout and login  again...

Seriously, since I never used ncurses, I cannot be of much help, but I can =
give you some general advice.  Does the example dir has some project file (=
*.gpr)?  If it has, I would start from that, taking an existing project fil=
e and modifying to my needs.

Hope this "bootstraps" you.
