If the data scrolled
off the bottom of the region by the \fBri\fP re-appears, then scrolling
is non-destructive.
-System V and XSI Curses expect that \fBind\fP, \fBri\fP,
+System V and X/Open Curses expect that \fBind\fP, \fBri\fP,
\fBindn\fP, and \fBrin\fP will simulate destructive scrolling; their
documentation cautions you not to define \fBcsr\fP unless this is true.
This \fBcurses\fP implementation is more liberal and will do explicit erases
.SS "Insert/Delete Character"
There are two basic kinds of intelligent terminals with respect to
insert/delete character which can be described using
-.I terminfo.
+.IR terminfo .
The most common insert/delete character operations affect only the characters
on the current line and shift characters off the end of the line rigidly.
Other terminals, such as the Concept 100 and the Perkin Elmer Owl, make
with one parameter,
.IR n ,
to delete
-.I n characters,
+.IR n "characters,"
and delete mode by giving \fBsmdc\fP and \fBrmdc\fP
to enter and exit delete mode (any mode the terminal needs to be placed
in for
the \fBInsert/Delete Character\fP subsection above.

The parameter substitutions for \fBset_clock\fP and \fBdisplay_clock\fP are

then the \fBncv\fP value must be specified, even if it is zero.

Different commercial ports of \fI\%terminfo\fP and \fIcurses\fP support
-different subsets of XSI Curses and
+different subsets of X/Open Curses and
(in some cases)
different extensions.
Here is a summary,

adding extension capabilities to the string table that
