.SH DESCRIPTION
-These routines, insert the character \fIch\fR before the character under the
-cursor. All characters to the right of the cursor are moved one space to the
-right, with the possibility of the rightmost character on the line being lost.
-The insertion operation does not change the cursor position.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-All routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure and OK (SVr4
-specifies only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
-completion, unless otherwise noted in the preceding routine descriptions.
+These functions insert the
+.I curses
+character
+.I ch
+at the cursor in the specified window
+.I win
+(or
+.BR \%stdscr ).
+The character previously at the cursor and any to its right move one
+cell to the right;
+the rightmost character on the line is discarded.
+The cursor does not advance.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+These functions return
+.B OK
+on success and
+.B ERR
+on failure.
+.PP
+Functions taking a
+.I \%WINDOW
+pointer argument fail if the pointer is
+.BR NULL .
+.PP
+Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
+fail if the position
+.RI ( y ,
+.IR x )
+is outside the window boundaries.
.SH NOTES
-These routines do not necessarily imply use of a hardware insert character
-feature.
-
-Note that \fBinsch\fR, \fBmvinsch\fR, and \fBmvwinsch\fR may be macros.
+.BR \%insch ,
+.BR \%mvinsch ,
+and
+.B \%mvwinsch
+may be implemented as macros.
+.PP
+A terminal's
+.B \%insert_character
+.RB ( ich1 )
+capability
+is not necessarily employed.
.SH PORTABILITY
-These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
