Allows curses to use the hardware insert/delete line feature.
Curses Library (libcurses.a)
The idlok subroutine enables curses to use the hardware insert/delete line feature for terminals so equipped. If this feature is disabled, curses cannot use it. The insert/delete line feature is always considered. Enable this option only if your application needs the insert/delete line feature; for example, for a screen editor. If the insert/delete line feature cannot be used, curses will redraw the changed portions of all lines that do not match the desired line.
