- The <STRONG>newpad</STRONG> routine creates and returns a pointer to a new pad data
- structure with the given number of lines, <EM>nlines</EM>, and columns, <EM>ncols</EM>.
- A pad is like a window, except that it is not restricted by the screen
- size, and is not necessarily associated with a particular part of the
- screen. Pads can be used when a large window is needed, and only a
- part of the window will be on the screen at one time. Automatic re-
- freshes of pads (e.g., from scrolling or echoing of input) do not oc-
- cur.
-
- It is not legal to call <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> with a <EM>pad</EM> as an argument; the rou-
- tines <STRONG>prefresh</STRONG> or <STRONG>pnoutrefresh</STRONG> should be called instead. Note that
- these routines require additional parameters to specify the part of the
- pad to be displayed and the location on the screen to be used for the
- display.
