Occasionally I find myself having to do something trivial
to the screen, but because I'm accustomed to using cur-
ses, this typically increases the size of the executable
by a good 25k.  Below is a typical piece of code (nor-
mally I'd use tput clear to clear the screen - it's just an
example).  If someone could show me how to do this using
lower level functions, I'd appreciate it:

#include <tcap.h>

main()
{
  initscr();
  clear();
  refresh();
  endwin();
  exit();
}
