Curses is repainting the entire screen. Could my curses code be old, it's from 1981. Also, if I update the curses window buffers using deleteln() and I manually update the screen by outputting the delete line string from termcaps, if it exists, how do I convince curses that the screen is up-to-date so that the next refresh doesn't repaint the screen. Is there a flag somewhere? Rudy Bazelman / Wang Institute
