I hope that curses solve your purpose. Because it is basically a screen handling library. It was introduced in the original UNIX systems when there was no X-Windows. This was intrioduced to do some graphical programming in the text mode.
But Incase your purpose is not getting soved, then I doubt that you will have to go in for changing the properties of your terminal.
Hopefully you dont have to go to that extent.
Well the switch shall be -lcurses only. But you can try to be sure..
