+       Although  <STRONG>getnstr</STRONG>  is equivalent to a series of calls to <STRONG>getch</STRONG>, it also
+       makes changes to the curses modes to allow simple editing of the  input
+       buffer:
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   <STRONG>getnstr</STRONG>  saves  the  current  value of the <STRONG>nl</STRONG>, <STRONG>echo</STRONG>, <STRONG>raw</STRONG> and <STRONG>cbreak</STRONG>
+           modes, and sets <STRONG>nl</STRONG>, <STRONG>noecho</STRONG>, <STRONG>noraw</STRONG>, and <STRONG>cbreak</STRONG>.
+
+           <STRONG>getnstr</STRONG> handles the echoing of characters, rather than  relying  on
+           the caller to set an appropriate mode.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   It  also  obtains  the <EM>erase</EM> and <EM>kill</EM> characters from <STRONG>erasechar</STRONG> and
+           <STRONG>killchar</STRONG>, respectively.
+
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   On return, <STRONG>getnstr</STRONG> restores the modes to their previous values.
+
+       Other implementations differ.  While they may set the <EM>echo</EM>  mode,  they
+       do  not  modify  the  <EM>raw</EM> mode, and may take the <EM>cbreak</EM> mode set by the
+       caller into account when deciding  whether  to  handle  echoing  within
+       <STRONG>getnstr</STRONG>  or  as a side-effect of the <STRONG>getch</STRONG> calls.  Because ncurses sets
+       these modes, its signal handlers for INTR and QUIT (e.g., <STRONG>^C</STRONG> or <STRONG>^\</STRONG>) may
+       catch  a signal and stop the program, where other implementations allow
+       one to enter those characters in the buffer.
