 .SH DESCRIPTION
-The \fBborder\fR, \fBwborder\fR and \fBbox\fR routines draw a box around the
-edges of a window.  The argument \fIls\fR is a character and attributes used
-for the left side of the border, \fIrs\fR - right side, \fIts\fR - top side,
-\fIbs\fR - bottom side, \fItl\fR - top left-hand corner, \fItr\fR - top
-right-hand corner, \fIbl\fR - bottom left-hand corner, and \fIbr\fR - bottom
-right-hand corner.  If any of these arguments is zero, then the following
-default values (defined in \fBcurses.h\fR) are used instead: \fBACS_VLINE\fR,
-\fBACS_VLINE\fR, \fBACS_HLINE\fR, \fBACS_HLINE\fR, \fB\fBACS_ULCORNER\fR,
-\fBACS_URCORNER\fR, \fBACS_LLCORNER\fR, \fBACS_LRCORNER\fR.
