Ncurses status bar

Hi, all,

I'm writing a BBS telnet client, and am trying to implement a status bar into it, at the bottom of the screen.
I am using NCurses to accomplish this. So far, it appears to be working, that is, upon connecting to BBS, it
will display the status bar, and then quickly disappear.



Here is some code:

https://pastebin.com/raw/wM6hcQkk

The first function is executed before the second.
It works and everything, but only for a second or so.


Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
