ch.chr only works for values < 256. After that it gives an out of range.

I very often trap Ncurses' keys such as KEY_UP DOWN, RIGHT and LEFT. 
They won't work in this case. Same for function keys etc.

(Yes, I was quite surprised to see the ":" deprecation in David's

statements, I thought it was good style to use it.)
