Here's a suggestion (that I haven't tried): create a new window the
size of the entire screen and render the SIO instance into it; this
should overwrite all the other information on the screen.  Then
restore the old display by deleting the new window and refreshing the
screen.  Something like 'win = stdscr.newwin(0,0) ; ... do stuff with
win ; del win ; stdscr.refresh()'...
