-This is the Redhat newt library, a library that is
-similar to (and based on) ncurses in that it does
-special things with console I/O.
+   Newt is a windowing toolkit for text mode built from the slang
+   library. It allows color text mode applications to easily use
+   stackable windows, push buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, lists,   
+   entry fields, labels, and displayable text. Scrollbars are supported,
+   and forms may be nested to provide extra functionality.
 
-Unfortunately, there do not seem to be any documentation
-available on Redhat's website about newt.
+WWW: http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/archive/RHL-5.1-Installation-Guide/ manual/doc102.html

+Besides the newt library, this port provides whiptail, which may
+be used from shell scripts similarly to Savio Lam's "dialog". Newt
+provides the textual interface for the Red Hat and Debian boot
+disks.
