-       The <STRONG>bkgrndset</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrndset</STRONG> routines manipulate the back-
-       ground of the named window.  The window  background  is  a
-       <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> consisting of any combination of attributes (i.e.,
-       rendition) and a complex character.  The attribute part of
-       the  background  is  combined  (OR'ed)  with all non-blank
-       characters that are written into the window  with  <STRONG>waddch</STRONG>.
-       Both  the  character and attribute parts of the background
-       are combined with the blank  characters.   The  background
-       becomes  a  property  of  the character and moves with the
-       character  through   any   scrolling   and   insert/delete
-       line/character operations.

-       To  the  extent  possible  on  a  particular terminal, the
-       attribute part of  the  background  is  displayed  as  the
-       graphic rendition of the character put on the screen.
 
-       The  <STRONG>bkgrnd</STRONG> and <STRONG>wbkgrnd</STRONG> functions set the background prop-
-       erty of the current or specified  window  and  then  apply
-       this setting to every character position in that window:

-              it is changed to the new background character.

+       the  background  is displayed as the graphic rendition of the character

-       The  <STRONG>getbkgrnd</STRONG> function returns the given window's current
