-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
-       The <STRONG>border</STRONG>, <STRONG>wborder</STRONG> and <STRONG>box</STRONG> routines draw a box around the
-       edges of a window.  Other than the window,  each  argument
-       is a character with attributes:
-              <EM>ls</EM> - left side,
-              <EM>rs</EM> - right side,
-              <EM>ts</EM> - top side,
-              <EM>bs</EM> - bottom side,
-              <EM>tl</EM> - top left-hand corner,
-              <EM>tr</EM> - top right-hand corner,
-              <EM>bl</EM> - bottom left-hand corner, and
-              <EM>br</EM> - bottom right-hand corner.
-       If  any of these arguments is zero, then the corresponding
-       default values (defined in <STRONG>curses.h</STRONG>) are used instead:
-              <STRONG>ACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
-              <STRONG>ACS_VLINE</STRONG>,
-              <STRONG>ACS_HLINE</STRONG>,
-              <STRONG>ACS_HLINE</STRONG>,

-              <STRONG>ACS_URCORNER</STRONG>,
-              <STRONG>ACS_LLCORNER</STRONG>,

-       <STRONG>box(</STRONG><EM>win</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>verch</EM><STRONG>,</STRONG> <EM>horch</EM><STRONG>)</STRONG> is a shorthand  for  the  following

-       <STRONG>0)</STRONG>.
-
-       The <STRONG>hline</STRONG> and <STRONG>whline</STRONG> functions draw a horizontal (left  to
-       right)  line using <EM>ch</EM> starting at the current cursor posi-
-       tion in the window.  The current cursor  position  is  not
-       changed.   The  line  is  at most <EM>n</EM> characters long, or as
-       many as fit into the window.
-       The <STRONG>vline</STRONG> and <STRONG>wvline</STRONG> functions draw  a  vertical  (top  to
-       bottom) line using <EM>ch</EM> starting at the current cursor posi-
-       tion in the window.  The current cursor  position  is  not
-       changed.   The  line  is  at most <EM>n</EM> characters long, or as
-       many as fit into the window.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
-       All routines return the integer  <STRONG>OK</STRONG>.   The  SVr4.0  manual
-       says  "or  a  non-negative integer if <STRONG>immedok</STRONG> is set", but
-       this appears to be an error.
-
-
-</PRE>
-<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
-       The borders generated by these functions are  <EM>inside</EM>  bor-
-       ders (this is also true of SVr4 curses, though the fact is
-       not documented).
-
-       Note that <STRONG>border</STRONG> and <STRONG>box</STRONG> may be macros.
 
 
-</PRE>
-<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
-       These functions are described in the XSI Curses  standard,
-       Issue  4.   The standard specifies that they return <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on
-       failure, but specifies no error conditions.
