in general the two keypress event connected to the same event handler (exit function). In that case you will have no information about the keypress. But also you can have different handlers for different keys therefore they can behave differently.
As far as I see there are two functions: void newtWaitForKey(void); and void newtClearKeyBuffer(void); to handle keypresses, you need to check the source code how it is really implemented.
I was trying the
>>>
newtComponent newtRunForm(newtComponent form)
<<<
function, which seems to be legacy.
The modern version is
>>>
newtFormRun()
<<<
which is supposed to fill a structure, maybe including data on the exiting form component (just what is needed).
But I cannot find any documentation on newtFormRun().
