Oooh! I do not know if the 1.9.18 has it either. Maybe the
old one from svgalib-1.4.3 is still in place...

Could be. It could also be because of the usleep() problem or some
other malfunction of the code. Linrad-01.18 should not have these 
problems, it would be interesting to know what happens if you
upgrade Linrad before svgalib.

Press F1 for help on the main menu ;-)

There are several keys that can be pressed on operating screen
and you will get a list. (The key for exit is X. Press twice.
First time to a menu, then once more for the main menu)
