the simplest way (other than using the panel library) is to use
wnoutrefresh() on each window and doupdate() at the end.  I have been
making changes to the dialog program recently using that approach
(using touchwin() as well - though it's not always needed for the effect
I'm designing).  Other than the example in the test/ncurses.c code, I'm
not sure how useful wsyncdown() is - it's rather specialized.
