create_windows(Integer_Type s0, Integer_Type s1 [, ...])

Create a configuration of windows with the desired sizes. Window sizes are defined top to bottom (first param is for topmost window).

The first window with a desired size of 0 will be 'elastic' - it's size will shrink or grow so that other windows. If none of the parameters is 0, the bottom window will be elastic. If the screen is too small, the function may fail.

Example: 


   create_windows(4, 0, 2)
will create 3 windows:

The top one has 4 lines, the bottom one 2 lines and the middle has the rest.

create_windows_rel(Integer_Type s0, Integer_Type s1 [, ...])
