I need to use curses for a software engineering class project. In
implementing my windows (in c++ -- using cfront 1.2 with SunOS 4.2 Release
3.5), I want to scroll the text. However, the only function I find is
scroll() which scrolls the window up 1 line. How do I scroll the window
down 1 line?

One thought I had was to have a small window (perhaps 10 lines) on
perhaps 30 or 40 lines of text. By moving the cursor position, will I
get the effect of scrolling multiple lines in either direction? 

Please respond via e-mail. Thanks in advance for your help.
