This is the most appropriate newsgroup that I could think of to post
this query, so please, if it's not totally appropriate for me to post
it here, forgive me.

I have an application which is written in C using curses running on
HP/UX v9.07.  I create a window, display some information in the
window, ask the user to press a key, then get rid of the window.  The
problem I'm having is that when the window goes away so does the text
that was below it, i. e. it wipes out what was on stdscr.  How can I
prevent this from happening?

To get rid of the window I'm calling:  werase(), wrefresh(), and
delwin() in that order.

Thanks in advance.
