Normally, the hardware cursor is left at the location of
- the window cursor being refreshed. The <STRONG>leaveok</STRONG> option
- allows the cursor to be left wherever the update happens
- to leave it. It is useful for applications where the cur-
- sor 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
- enabled, an attempt to move off the bottom margin line
- causes 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
- and the terminal has either a scrolling region or
- insert/delete line capability, they will probably be used
- by the output routines.)
-
- The <STRONG>scrollok</STRONG> option controls what happens when the cursor
- of a window is moved off the edge of the window or
- scrolling region, either as a result of a newline action
- on the bottom line, or typing the last character of the

+ whether <STRONG>raw</STRONG> should disable the CRLF translations con-
+ trolled by <STRONG>nl</STRONG> and <STRONG>nonl</STRONG>. BSD curses did turn off these
translations; AT&T curses (at least as late as SVr1) did
not. We choose to do so, on the theory that a programmer
requesting raw input wants a clean (ideally 8-bit clean)
- connection that the operating system does not mess with.
+ connection that the operating system will not alter.
Some historic curses implementations had, as an undocu-
mented feature, the ability to do the equivalent of
not. Use <STRONG>curs_set</STRONG> to make the cursor invisible.
