The \fBPANEL\fR structure is not lost, merely removed from the stack. .TP -\fBshow_panel(pan)\fR +.B panel_hidden(pan) +returns TRUE if the panel is in the panel stack, +FALSE if it is not. +If the panel is a null pointer, return ERR. +.TP +.B show_panel(pan) makes a hidden panel visible by placing it on top of the panels in the panel stack.
