Re: ncurses applications: best practices

[Sentinel]

I will be implementing multiple rows / lists tonight. Say 100 rows of data 
while I display 25 at a time. Does ncurses provide anything for this, or 
is it just the usual programming job. I remember reading of off-screen 
rows and buffers but that's for one field iirc.

I am not asking for programming logic here just anything in ncurses I 
could have missed, or that someone here has learned after much struggle.

I am aware of the page up and down REQ's. I would have an array of data 
ready and keep changing the field contents as the user goes below the last 
field.

btw, When I use the arrow key to go down after the last item, it does 
jump back to the top. How to disallow that so i can repopulate my fields.

Any tips for multi-row scrollable lists would be very appreciated.
