With the screen-pointer extension, there are situations where it
must create a current screen before the unextended library does.
The <STRONG>new_prescr</STRONG> function is used internally to handle these cases.

NCURSES_SP_NAME
The new functions are named using the macro <EM>NCURSES</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>SP</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>NAME</EM>, which

- fix to the name of the unextended function. This manual page in-
