it sounds as if you're getting a clear-screen momentarily as a result of
the initialization of curses (slang in this case).  That's a combination
of the terminal description (usually contains a clear in the initialization
string) and the library assumptions (it may clear the screen even if there's
nothing in the initialization string).
 
There is not much (portable) that you can do about that.
