idlok != newwin and setscreg != subwin

idlok(win,flag)
	If flag is enabled, curses will concider using hardware
	"insert/delete line" terminal features.  If disabled,
	it will seldom use it.  This option is always concidered.
	It needs to be enabled only if your application needs it,
	such as a screen editor.  It tends to be annoying when
	used in applications where it isn't really needed.  If it
	cannot be used, curses will redraw the changed lines.

setscrreg(top,bot)
wsetscrreg(win,top,bot)
	These allow a user to set a software scrolling region in a
	window.  top and bot are line numbers of the top and bottom
	margin of the scrolling region.  This has nothing to do with
	the terminals physical scrolling capability.


Hope this helps.  This is from the SVR3 curses documentation.
