                hwp is not completely finished.  It has not been tested

                The insert key doesn't work on most systems because the         
                                                                                
        termcap/terminfo entry for KEY_IC is not defined.                       
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                hwp does not work at all in xvt windows under X11.  I           
                                                                                
        wrote xvt so please don't mail me and tell me to tell the               
                                                                                
        author about it.  I don't know why xvt doesn't work properly            
                                                                                
        and I don't have time to fix it now.  I will spend time on it           
                                                                                
        in the future.                                                          
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                hwp doesn't work properly in xterm windows either.  It          
                                                                                
        works to some extent but the function keys don't work, etc.             
                                                                                
        because a proper termcap/terminfo entry for xterm is missing.           
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                Since some keys that are not in terminfo/termcap files,         
                                                                                
        I have made the ESC key cause the menu to pop up.  This means           
                                                                                
        that when you press a function key in an xterm, the menubar             
                                                                                
        becomes active and you can now choose your item with the cursor         
                                                                                
        keys.  This means that hwp is not totally useless on systems            
                                                                                
        without function keys, etc.  All you really need are cursor             
                                                                                
        keys, backspace and an ESC key.                                         
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                I will be working on hwp after the contest is over

        I can by tonight and submit it to the contest.  The rest will

                I only have 4.2 to test hwp on.  I really truly hope it
