Putting a curses program in the background then in the foreground

My guess about this sort of required behaviour is this:
i) the program catches the SIGTSTP signal. In the handler it reset the
terminal characteristics and then sends itself a SIGSTOP.
ii) the program catches the SIGCONT signal. In the handler it does a
refresh of the necessary stuff and then continues.
There's probably a few minor :-) details in there that need to be added. Comments?
