moving windows offscreen

[Patrick]

Hi Guys

I am using multiple windows. I am actually using ncurses with GnuCOBOL.

I have have a menubar and drop down menuitems working but the code is a 
bit cumbersome. I have been creating a new window each time a menubar 
button triggers one. I have been destroying it afterwards.

We can't hide/show windows like we can in GTK etc but is it a reasonable 
workaround to move the window to some Y X coordinates so that it is no 
longer view-able and moving it back to achieve show/hide functionality ?

Thanks-Patrick
