+.SS USAGE
+All of the ncurses library functions assume that the locale is not
+altered during operation.
+In addition,
+they use data which is maintained within a hierarchy of scopes.
+.RS 3
+.bP
+global data, e.g., used in the low-level terminfo or termcap interfaces.
+.bP
+terminal data, e.g., associated with a call to \fIset_curterm\fP.
+The terminal data are initialized when screens are created.
+.bP
+screen data, e.g., associated with a call to \fInewterm\fP or \fIinitscr\fP.
+.bP
+window data, e.g., associated with a call to \fInewwin\fP or \fIsubwin\fP.
+Windows are associated with screens.
+Pads are not necessarily associated with a particular screen.
+.IP
+Most curses applications operate on one or more windows within a single screen.
+.bP
+reentrant, i.e., it uses only the data passed as parameters.

+This table lists the scope of data used for each symbol in the
