<BODY>
<STRONG>o</STRONG> SVr4 curses sets a flag in the <STRONG>WINDOW</STRONG> structure in <STRONG>newpad</STRONG> which
tells if the window is a <EM>pad</EM>.
- However, it uses this information only in <STRONG>wscrl</STRONG>, and does not check
- in <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> to ensure that the pad is refreshed properly.
+ However, it uses this information only in <STRONG>waddch</STRONG> (to decide if it
+ should call <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG>) and <STRONG>wscrl</STRONG> (to avoid scrolling a pad), and
+ does not check in <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> to ensure that the pad is refreshed
+ properly.
<STRONG>o</STRONG> Solaris X/Open Curses checks if a window is a pad in <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG>,
returning <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> in that case.
