 .SH DESCRIPTION

-This is an extension to the curses library.
-It reallocates storage for an \fBncurses\fP
-window to adjust its dimensions to the specified values.
-If either dimension is larger than the current values, the
-window's data is filled with blanks that have the current background rendition
-(as set by \fBwbkgdset\fP) merged into them.
+This \fI\%ncurses\fP extension to standard \fIcurses\fP reallocates
+storage for a \fIcurses\fP window to adjust its dimensions to the
+specified values.
+If either dimension is larger than its current value,
+the expanded part of the window is filled with blanks merged with
+current background rendition

-The only restriction placed on the dimensions is that they be greater than zero.
-The dimensions are not compared to \fBcurses\fP screen dimensions to
