-.SH SEE ALSO
-\fBcurses\fR(3X) and related pages whose names begin "form_" for detailed
-descriptions of the entry points.
.SH NOTES
The header file \fB<form.h>\fR automatically includes the header files
\fB<curses.h>\fR and \fB<eti.h>\fR.
.PP
In your library list, libform.a should be before libncurses.a; that is,
-you want to say `\-lform \-lncurses', not the other way around (which would
-give you a link error using most linkers).
+you want to say \*(``\-lform \-lncurses\*('', not the other way around
+(which would give you a link error when using static libraries).
.SH PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on
Version 7 or BSD versions.
+.PP
+A few functions are extensions added for ncurses, e.g.,
+\fBform_driver_w\fP,
+\fBunfocus_current_field\fP.
