10High level access to basic Curses widgets and related functions.
11
12NOTE: This is **NOT** backwards compatible with the pre-1.99 versions. This
13is entirely OO-based, hence any older scripts relying on the old versions will
14need to be rewritten.
15
16Also note that certain "widgets" are no longer available (i.e., the dialogs).
17Those are more properly forms, not widgets, and hence are available in the
18latest Curses::Forms release.
