  64        The function <STRONG>post_form</STRONG> displays a form to  its  associated
  65        subwindow.   To trigger physical display of the subwindow,
  66        use  <STRONG>refresh</STRONG>  or  some  equivalent  <STRONG>curses</STRONG>  routine   (the
  67        implicit  <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG>  triggered  by  an <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input request
  68        will do).
  69
  70        The function <STRONG>unpost_form</STRONG> erases form from  its  associated
  71        subwindow.
