- ground of the named window. The window background is a
- <STRONG>chtype</STRONG> consisting of any combination of attributes (i.e.,

- background is combined (OR'ed) with all non-blank charac-
- ters that are written into the window with <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>. Both
- the character and attribute parts of the background are
