        !            16: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            17: These routines give the user a method of updating screens with reasonable
        !            18: optimization.  They keep an image of the current screen,
        !            19: and the user sets up an image of a new one.  Then the
        !            20: .I refresh()
        !            21: tells the routines to make the current screen look like the new one.
        !            22: In order to initialize the routines, the routine
        !            23: .I initscr()
        !            24: must be called before any of the other routines that deal with windows and
        !            25: screens are used.  The routine
        !            26: .I endwin()
        !            27: should be called before exiting.
