 background of the named window.

+To the extent possible on a particular terminal,

 as the graphic rendition of the character put on the screen.

+.PP
 The \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR functions
 set the background property of the current or specified window
 and then apply this setting to every character position in that window:

 .RS
 The rendition of every character on the screen is changed to
 the new background rendition.

 Wherever the former background character
 appears, it is changed to the new background character.

 The \fBgetbkgd\fR function returns the given window's current background
 character/attribute pair.

 .SH RETURN VALUE
 The routines \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR return the integer \fBOK\fR.
 The SVr4.0 manual says "or a non-negative integer if \fBimmedok\fR is set",
 but this appears to be an error.

 .SH PORTABILITY
-These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.  The draft

-specifies that \fBbkgd\fR and \fBwbkgd\fR return \fBERR\fR, on failure. but
