        !             6: These routines give the user a method
        !             7: of updating screens with reasonable optimization.
        !             8: They keep an image of the current screen,
        !             9: and the user sets up an image of a new one.

        !            16: must be called before any other routines
        !            17: that deal with windows and screens.
        !            18: The routine
        !            19: .I endwin()
        !            20: should be called before exiting.
