-The integer variables \fBLINES\fP and \fBCOLS\fP are defined in
-\fB<curses.h>\fP and will be filled in by \fBinitscr\fP with the size of the

-The \fBcurses\fP routines also define the \fBWINDOW *\fP variable \fBcurscr\fP

-.SS Routine and Argument Names
-Many \fBcurses\fP routines have two or more versions.
-The routines prefixed with \fIw\fP require a window argument.
-The routines prefixed with \fIp\fP require a pad argument.
-Those without a prefix generally use \fBstdscr\fP.
-.PP
-The routines prefixed with \fBmv\fP require a \fIy\fP and \fIx\fP
-coordinate to move to before performing the appropriate action.
-The \fBmv\fP routines imply a call to \fBmove\fP before the call to the
-other routine.
-The coordinate \fIy\fP always refers to the row (of
-the window), and \fIx\fP always refers to the column.
-The upper left-hand corner is always (0,0), not (1,1).
-.PP
-The routines prefixed with \fBmvw\fP take both a window argument and
-\fIx\fP and \fIy\fP coordinates.
-The window argument is always specified before the coordinates.
-.PP
-In each case, \fIwin\fP is the window affected, and \fIpad\fP is the
-pad affected; \fIwin\fP and \fIpad\fP are always pointers to type
-\fBWINDOW\fP.
-.PP
-Option setting routines require a Boolean flag \fIbf\fP with the value
-\fBTRUE\fP or \fBFALSE\fP; \fIbf\fP is always of type \fBbool\fP.
-Most of the data types used in the library routines,
-such as \fBWINDOW\fP, \fBSCREEN\fP, \fBbool\fP, and \fBchtype\fP
-are defined in \fB<curses.h>\fP.
-Types used for the terminfo routines such as
-\fBTERMINAL\fP are defined in \fB<term.h>\fP.
