   NAME
         panelshow:  showpanel, hidepanel, panelhidden - panels deck
         manipulation routines

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <panel.h>

         int showpanel(PANEL *panel);
         int hidepanel(PANEL *panel);
         int panelhidden(PANEL *panel);

   DESCRIPTION
         showpanel makes panel, previously hidden, visible and places it on
         top of the deck of panels.

         hidepanel removes panel from the panel deck and, thus, hides it from
         view.  The internal data structure of the panel is retained.

         panelhidden returns TRUE (1) or FALSE (0) indicating whether or not
         panel is in the deck of panels.

   RETURN VALUE
         showpanel and hidepanel return the integer OK upon successful
         completion or ERR upon error.

   NOTES
         The header file <panel.h> automatically includes the header file
         <curses.h>.
