-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
-       The <B>border</B>, <B>wborder</B> and <B>box</B> routines draw a box around the
-       edges of a window.  The argument <I>ls</I>  is  a  character  and
-       attributes  used  for  the  left  side of the border, <I>rs</I> -
-       right side, <I>ts</I> - top side, <I>bs</I> -  bottom  side,  <I>tl</I>  -  top
-       left-hand  corner, <I>tr</I> - top right-hand corner, <I>bl</I> - bottom
-       left-hand corner, and <I>br</I> - bottom right-hand  corner.   If
-       any of these arguments is zero, then the following default
-       values (defined in <B>curses.h</B>) are used instead:  <B>ACS_VLINE</B>,
-       <B>ACS_VLINE</B>,     <B>ACS_HLINE</B>,     <B>ACS_HLINE</B>,     <B>ACS_ULCORNER</B>,
-       <B>ACS_URCORNER</B>, <B>ACS_LLCORNER</B>, <B>ACS_LRCORNER</B>.
-
-       <B>box(</B><I>win</I><B>,</B> <I>verch</I><B>,</B> <I>horch</I><B>)</B> is a shorthand  for  the  following
-       call:  <B>wborder(</B><I>win</I><B>,</B>  <I>verch</I><B>,</B>  <I>verch</I><B>,</B> <I>horch</I><B>,</B> <I>horch</I><B>,</B> <B>0,</B> <B>0,</B> <B>0,</B>
-       <B>0)</B>.
-
-       The <B>hline</B> and <B>whline</B> functions draw a horizontal (left  to
-       right)  line using <I>ch</I> starting at the current cursor posi-
-       tion in the window.  The current cursor  position  is  not
-       changed.   The  line  is  at most <I>n</I> characters long, or as
-       many as fit into the window.
-
-       The <B>vline</B> and <B>wvline</B> functions draw  a  vertical  (top  to
-       bottom) line using <I>ch</I> starting at the current cursor posi-
-       tion in the window.  The current cursor  position  is  not
-       changed.   The  line  is  at most <I>n</I> characters long, or as
-       many as fit into the window.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
-       All routines return the integer  <B>OK</B>.   The  SVr4.0  manual
-       says  "or  a  non-negative integer if <B>immedok</B> is set", but
-       this appears to be an error.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
-       The borders generated by these functions are  <I>inside</I>  bor-
-       ders (this is also true of SVr4 curses, though the fact is
-       not documented).
-
-       Note that <B>border</B> and <B>box</B> may be macros.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
-       These functions are described in the XSI Curses  standard,
-       Issue 4.  Additional functions <B>mvhline</B>, <B>mvvline</B>, <B>mvwhline</B>,
-       and <B>mvwvline</B> are described there which this implementation
-       does  not  yet  support.  The standard specifies that they
-       return <B>ERR</B> on failure, but specifies no error  conditions.
