 their values are OR'ed into the value returned.  Constants defined in
 \fB<curses.h>\fR can be used with the \fB&\fR (logical AND) operator to
 extract the character or attributes alone.

+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
+\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
