When running $ ./hello.e under xterm in X Windows, it just blinks and NOTHING is written into screen.
Quoting a mail from Emil Jerabek of 31 Jan 2002:
: That's not a bug, that's a feature :-) : Konsole restores automatically the previous screen contents after the curses shut down : (-> your example doesn't leave a visible trace).
(This applies to most kinds of X terminals.)
I could try to avoid this feature (optionally) in the CRT unit, if there's interest (last time the issue was discussed, there was not much of a reaction, so I assumed noone really cared).
I'm now adding this possibility. With the next GPC release (probably next week), you can do `CRTSavePreviousScreen (False)' (at the start of the program, before anything of CRT is used) to avoid the saving and restoring of xterm contents.
