Hi all,

I can't get pads to work in ncurses at all. Could someone look at the
really basic program and tell me why it displays a blank screen
please? It doesn't give me any errors, compiling or running, which
makes me think I've missed something simple.
....
pad= newpad( 3, 3 );
....
wgetch( stdscr );

man wgetch

If the window is not a pad, and it has been moved or modi-
fied since the last call to wrefresh(), wrefresh() will be
called before another character is read.

Generally the parameter to wgetch() should be the window (or pad) that
you want to be on top.
