 .SH DESCRIPTION

+These routines return a string of characters in \fIstr\fP, extracted starting
 at the current cursor position in the named window.
-Attributes are stripped from the characters.  The four
-functions with \fIn\fR as the last argument return a leading substring at most
-\fIn\fR characters long (exclusive of the trailing NUL).
