I tried to use the search at the upper right corner of your website. But nothing happened for a number of inputs: "prolog", "ansi_colors", and even "ht$init". Does the search support only a "selected" list of functions and/or routines?

The search feature is only for functions that match specific signatures (which is to say: most of them). The prolog keyword is not a function, it is a macro (and defined in profiler.inc as you probably already found). Same with ansi_colors, it too is a macro and lives in tui_ansi.inc. ht$init probably doesn't come up because it is not a profiler-capable function either and thus doesn't match the signature, haha.

fgrep is probably easier but I find that occasionally having the master-search-list of all the function names to be helpful.

I modified the original example again

I fixed the size to 80x25, centered on a black background 100%x100% terminal. Fixed the bounds checking, and it now correctly hides the cursor.

Does this version fixup what you were after?

Thanks!

Yeah, this version is what I am after.

But there seems to be a bug. When the terminal initially popped up, its dimensions were 80x24, not 80x25. (I am sure about it because I actually counted the number of rows!) After resizing, it was clear that the terminal actually had 25 rows. Haha ...

Okay. I guess that I should revisit the topic of regular expression. Thanks, anyway!

I thought every Linux (Unix) developer knows how to use regular expressions (sed, awk, grep/fgrep etc) and other essential Unix tools Razz

When I, in the thread-starting post, used the adjective "rusty" to describe my programming skills, I was not exaggerating at all. Around a quarter of a century ago, I was actually very good at UNIX (and similar breeds). Now, it is a very different story. Haha ...
