 until a newline or carriage return is received (the terminating character is
-not included in the returned string).  The resulting value is placed in the

+The resulting value is placed in the
 area pointed to by the character pointer \fIstr\fR.

 \fBwgetnstr\fR reads at most \fIn\fR characters, thus preventing a possible
-overflow of the input buffer.  Any attempt to enter more characters (other
-than the terminating newline or carriage return) causes a beep.  Function
-keys also cause a beep and are ignored.  The \fBgetnstr\fR function reads
+overflow of the input buffer.
