Thanks!  I think I understand it now, including why I misunderstood it
before.  The tutorials I was reading stated that before anything would
show up in a window, the window had to be refreshed.  My first few
curses programs, in which I only had the one "stdscr" window object,
showed this to be not true -- things were showing up without
refresh().  I think this caused me to get confused about when
refresh() really was needed.
