well, I tested it, and it appears that PDCurses is wrong.  The ncurses
test program has a screen that I adapted by adding a toggle & status for
the scrollok and keypad functions.  I can see that SVr4 curses does not
inherit the settings of scrollok or keypad from the parent window (I agree
that it would seem more logical to inherit, but neither the SVr4 implementation
nor the X/Open spec agree with that).

(The modified test will be in my next patch for ncurses, in case anyone's
interested).

You should ifdef the code appropriately, e.g,. #ifdef PDCURSES (please don't
use DOSPATH).
