form_post - write or erase forms from associated subwindows
#include <form.h>
int post_form(FORM *form);
int unpost_form(FORM *form);
The function post_form displays a form to its associated
subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow,
use refresh or some equivalent curses routine (the implicit
doupdate triggered by an curses input request will do).
The function unpost_form erases form from its associated
subwindow.
These routines return one of the following:
