+These routines return a string of \fBwchar_t\fR wide characters in \fIwstr\fR,
 extracted starting at the current cursor position in the named window.
-Attributes are stripped from the characters.
-The four functions with \fIn\fR as the last argument return a leading substring at most

+The four functions with \fIn\fR as the last argument return
+a leading substring at most \fIn\fR characters long
+(exclusive of the trailing NUL).
+Transfer stops at the end of the current line, or when \fIn\fR characters have
 been stored at the location referenced by \fIwstr\fR.
 .PP
-If the size \fIn\fR is not large enough to store a complete character,
+If the size \fIn\fR is not large enough to store a complete complex character,
 an error is generated.
 .SH NOTES
-Note that all routines except

+All routines except
 \fBwinnwstr\fR
 may be macros.
-.SH RETURN VALUES
+.PP
+Each cell in the window holds a complex character (i.e., base-
+and combining-characters) together with attributes and color.
+These functions store only the wide characters,
+ignoring attributes and color.
+Use \fBin_wchstr\fP to return the complex characters from a window.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
 All routines return
 \fBERR\fR

+Upon
 successful completion, the *\fBinwstr\fR
 routines return
