curses.setsyx()?

[linkmaster032000]

I tried curses.setsyx(2,3) in my script and it doesn't move the curses
cursor. Any alternatives/solutions?

Did you call doupdate after? setsyx just manipulates the data structures.
It takes a call to doupdate to force those changes to take effect visually.

I added it and it still doesn't work. This is what I'm doing when I
want to display the cursor and prepare it for input at 2,3:

curses.echo()
curses.curs_set(1)
curses.setsyx(2,3)
curses.doupdate()

Any idea what's wrong?

No. Are you able to post an entire sample that demonstrates the problem?

Run that and press 'n' key. It is supposed to move the cursor to 2,3
and it doesn't.

Sorry that was me, forgot to switch emails. But yes that is it. Remove
the line about ppm/settings.conf if you don't want to create it
because it will throw an exception.

Of course it does. It moves the cursor, then does an update, then
immediately calls draw.game, which redraws the screen and moves the cursor.
If you want curses.setsyx (or the equivalent and more mnemonic scr.move) to
leave the cursor somewhere, you can't draw more text afterward.
