Few applications will use this feature,
most use \fBwmove\fP instead.
.SS ripoffline
-The \fBripoffline\fP routine provides access to the same facility that
-\fBslk_init\fP [see \fBcurs_slk\fP(3X)] uses to reduce the size of the

+\fB\%ripoffline\fP must be called before \fBinitscr\fP or
\fBnewterm\fP is called, to prepare these initial actions:

If \fIline\fP is positive, a line is removed from the top of \fBstdscr\fP.
the previous \fIcursor\fP state is returned;
otherwise, \fBERR\fP is returned.
.SS napms
-The \fBnapms\fP routine is used to sleep for \fIms\fP milliseconds.
-If the value of \fIms\fP exceeds 30,000
+.B \%napms
+sleeps for

+milliseconds.
+If

(thirty seconds),
it is capped at that value.
