Hi everyone

I seem to have encountered a bug in the prompt command:
  1. It places the cursor at the end of the prompt line (as set in the 
options statement)
  2. It does not echo as you type in
  3. But it does assign the typed in value correctly.
Example:
===================================================
main

define a char(40) #altering the size of a does not affect the behaviour

options message line last,
         prompt line last-1,
         form line 3

         menu "Prompt test"

         command "Prompt" "Prompt for user name"
                 prompt "Enter your name :" for a
                 display "Hello ",a clipped
                 sleep 1

         command "Exit"
                 error "Exit"

                 exit menu
         end menu

         message "Exiting.."
end main
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OS= openSUSE 20160417 tumbleweed (but same symptoms with openSUSE 12.3 
Dartmouth)
Aubit4GL version 1.2 build 39 (but same symptons occur with build 14)
TERM=xterm-256color (but the same symptoms occur with TERM=xterm)
LINES=24
COLUMNS=80  (But same symptoms with 38 x 127)
ncurses = v5 and/or v6

Is this a bug in Aubit4GL or my terminfo or termcap?

Regards
John O'Gorman
