.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBdeleteln\fR and \fBwdeleteln\fR routines delete the line under the
cursor in the window; all lines below the current line are moved up one line.
-The bottom line of the window is cleared. The cursor position does not change.
+The bottom line of the window is cleared.
+The cursor position does not change.
.PP
The \fBinsdelln\fR and \fBwinsdelln\fR routines, for positive \fIn\fR, insert
-\fIn\fR lines into the specified window above the current line. The \fIn\fR
-bottom lines are lost. For negative \fIn\fR, delete \fIn\fR lines (starting
-with the one under the cursor), and move the remaining lines up. The bottom
-\fIn\fR lines are cleared. The current cursor position remains the same.
+\fIn\fR lines into the specified window above the current line.
+The \fIn\fR
+bottom lines are lost.
+For negative \fIn\fR, delete \fIn\fR lines (starting

+The bottom
+\fIn\fR lines are cleared.
+The current cursor position remains the same.
.PP
The \fBinsertln\fR and \fBwinsertln\fR routines insert a blank line above the
current line and the bottom line is lost.
In this implementation,
if the window parameter is null, an error is returned.
.SH PORTABILITY
-These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4. The
+These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
+The
standard specifies that they return \fBERR\fR on failure, but specifies no
error conditions.
.SH NOTES
Note that all but \fBwinsdelln\fR may be macros.
.PP
These routines do not require a hardware line delete or insert feature in the
-terminal. In fact, they won't use hardware line delete/insert unless
+terminal.
+In fact, they will not use hardware line delete/insert unless
\fBidlok(..., TRUE)\fR has been set on the current window.
