- This is an extension to the curses library. It reallo-
- cates storage for an <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> window to adjust its dimen-
- sions to the specified values. If either dimension is
- larger than the current values, the window's data is
- filled with blanks that have the current background rendi-
- tion (as set by <STRONG>wbkgdset</STRONG>) merged into them.

+ It is not possible to resize windows with SVr4 curses.
