lua and curses

[Brennan Leathers <digibren@...>]

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Lua and I want to start moving up from simple scripts 
to applications with console interfaces. In message 
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2003-12/msg00305.html   a binding to 
curses is mentioned but unfortunately I can't find a file distribution 
for the library named in the message. Does anyone know of a 
curses/ncurses binding for lua? I realize it is probably pretty simple 
to bind using tolua, but I am just not that far along in my lua 
knowledge path yet.

I've done curses programming in c, but it's more intuitive to me to 
script it. Ruby in particular has a very nice OO binding to curses and I 
think a curses module would be a good candidate for inclusion with the 
standard lua interpreter, since there is also a binding to readline.

Regards,
Brennan Leathers
