- The arguments are the <EM>type</EM> of the terminal to be used in
- place of <STRONG>$TERM</STRONG>, a file pointer for output to the terminal,
- and another file pointer for input from the terminal (if
- <EM>type</EM> is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>, <STRONG>$TERM</STRONG> will be used). The program must also
- call <STRONG>endwin</STRONG> for each terminal being used before exiting
- from <STRONG>curses</STRONG>. If <STRONG>newterm</STRONG> is called more than once for the
- same terminal, the first terminal referred to must be the
- last one for which <STRONG>endwin</STRONG> is called.
-
- A program should always call <STRONG>endwin</STRONG> before exiting or es-
- caping from <STRONG>curses</STRONG> mode temporarily. This routine re-
- stores tty modes, moves the cursor to the lower left-hand
- corner of the screen and resets the terminal into the
- proper non-visual mode. Calling <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> or <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> after
- a temporary escape causes the program to resume visual
- mode.
