Normally, the hardware cursor is left at the location of
the window cursor being refreshed. The <STRONG>leaveok</STRONG> option al-
lows the cursor to be left wherever the update happens to
leave it. It is useful for applications where the cursor
is not used, since it reduces the need for cursor motions.
- The <STRONG>setscrreg</STRONG> and <STRONG>wsetscrreg</STRONG> routines allow the applica-
- tion programmer to set a software scrolling region in a
- window. <EM>top</EM> and <EM>bot</EM> are the line numbers of the top and
- bottom margin of the scrolling region. (Line 0 is the top
- line of the window.) If this option and <STRONG>scrollok</STRONG> are en-
- abled, an attempt to move off the bottom margin line caus-
- es all lines in the scrolling region to scroll one line in
- the direction of the first line. Only the text of the
- window is scrolled. (Note that this has nothing to do
- with the use of a physical scrolling region capability in
- the terminal, like that in the VT100. If <STRONG>idlok</STRONG> is enabled

- sert/delete line capability, they will probably be used by
