Few applications will use this feature,
most use \fBwmove\fP instead.
.SS ripoffline
-The \fBripoffline\fP routine provides access to the same facility that
-\fBslk_init\fP [see \fBcurs_slk\fP(3X)] uses to reduce the size of the
-screen.
+.B \%ripoffline
+provides access to the same facility that \fB\%slk_init\fP(3X) uses to
+reduce the size of the screen.
\fB\%ripoffline\fP must be called before \fBinitscr\fP or
\fBnewterm\fP is called, to prepare these initial actions:
.bP
the previous \fIcursor\fP state is returned;
otherwise, \fBERR\fP is returned.
.SS napms
-The \fBnapms\fP routine is used to sleep for \fIms\fP milliseconds.
-If the value of \fIms\fP exceeds 30,000
+.B \%napms
+sleeps for
+.I ms
+milliseconds.
+If
+.I ms
+exceeds 30,000
(thirty seconds),
it is capped at that value.
.SH RETURN VALUE
state to restore that.
.SH PORTABILITY
The \fIvirtual screen\fP functions \fBsetsyx\fP and \fBgetsyx\fP
-are not described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.

The SVr4 documentation describes \fBsetsyx\fP and \fBgetsyx\fP
as having return type int.
