umm.  I do remember VAX C curses handling of delwin as different in
that respect - but while I was using VAX C curses, the release version
was unusable (I patched mine) because it was unable to read single
characters (only buffers ;-).  DEC fixed that in a later release, then
broke it again.  (I assume they fixed it again shortly before you started
development with Lynx).

-- when discussing Unix curses, it would be useful to know which version
   you are talking about.
