- I did the array accessors to do something like:
    hW[0, 5] = "This is text"
  which would print the string on line 0, column 5. That's just what the Print() method does,
  just shorter, no problem to replace it by the hW.Attributes array accessors.

- I don't quite understand the DrawRect() feature. You mean overlapping rectangles and what?

- OK, main hook.

- I personally never exited ncurses mode temporarily, but mutt, my email client, does when I switch to
  vim to write a mail. I don't know if it could be very useful...
