Hello Guy,
Thank You for answering. Actually I already understood that all I have to do
is call again the window painting function for the new on-top window. The
ncurses/panel docs make the impression this can be done by the
touchwin()/wrefresh() functions, but repainting the window will do the job
as well.
Thanks again, and SHANA TOVA.
