       NAME
             panel_show: show_panel, hide_panel, panel_hidden - panels deck
             manipulation routines

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [flag . . .] file -lpanel -lcurses [library . . .]
             #include <panel.h>
             int show_panel(PANEL *panel);
             int hide_panel(PANEL *panel);
             int panel_hidden(PANEL *panel);

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

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

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

       RETURN VALUE
             show_panel and hide_panel return the integer OK upon
             successful completion or ERR upon error.

       NOTICES
             The header file panel.h automatically includes the header file
             curses.h.
