Hi,

	I'm having trouble getting a subwindow to show 
on a window attached to a panel.

	I created my windows:

		w1->setdim(maxy-2, maxx, 1, 0, FALSE, TRUE); /* Main data window */
		w2->setdim(maxy-2, maxx, 1, 0, FALSE, TRUE); /* Form */

	w1 has some data on it, and w2 contains a form at the top of it.  I want the 
subwindow below that form on w2.

	setdim() is as such:

	      void   setdim(int y, int x, int beginy, int beginx, bool echotrue, bool bord)
	      {
		 border = bord;

			       /* (nlines, ncols,  begin_y, begin_x) */
		 localwin = newwin(y, x, beginy, beginx);
		 if(border) 
		    box(localwin, 0, 0);

		 if(echotrue)
		    echo();
		 else
		    noecho();
		 keypad(localwin, TRUE);
		 wrefresh(localwin);
	      }

	My windows and panels are declared in the WinManip class as such:

      		WINDOW *localwin, *localsub;
      		PANEL *my_panels[2], *top; /* top handles panel switching */

	I can get my window and subwindow with these functions:

      		WINDOW* getwindow() { return localwin; }
      		WINDOW *getsubwnd() { return localsub; }

	I then call set_panels via w1 with w2 as a parameter:

	      void set_panels(WinManip *win2)
	      {
		 my_panels[0] = new_panel(this->getwindow());
		 my_panels[1] = new_panel(win2->getwindow());

		 set_panel_userptr(my_panels[0], my_panels[1]);
		 set_panel_userptr(my_panels[1], my_panels[0]);

		 top = my_panels[0];
		 top_panel(top);

		 update_panels();
		 doupdate();
	      }

	After that is when I call set_sub_wnd() via w2:

	      void set_sub_wnd()
	      {
		 localsub = derwin(this->getwindow(), 15, 50, 40, 1);
		 mvwprintw(localsub, 2, 0, "%s", "Subwindow");
		 touchwin(this->getwindow());
		 update_panels();
		 doupdate();
	      }

	I expect to see, on the panel with w2, a subwindow below the form that's 
on there.  Is there anything wrong with my code?  Am I not able to put a subwindow 
onto a window that has a form on it? I've tried other subwindow code on the web 
and they all work.  Thanks.
