The \fBdef_prog_mode\fR and \fBdef_shell_mode\fR routines save the
current terminal modes as the "program" (in \fBcurses\fR) or "shell"
(not in \fBcurses\fR) state for use by the \fBreset_prog_mode\fR and
-\fBreset_shell_mode\fR routines. This is done automatically by

-The \fBsetsyx\fR routine sets the virtual screen cursor to
-\fIy\fR, \fIx\fR. If \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR are both \fB\-1\fR, then

+.PP
+The \fBsetsyx\fR routine sets
+the \fIvirtual screen\fP cursor to \fIy\fR, \fIx\fR.
+If \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR are both \fB\-1\fR, then
+\fBleaveok\fR is set.
+The two routines \fBgetsyx\fR and \fBsetsyx\fR
are designed to be used by a library routine, which manipulates
\fBcurses\fR windows but does not want to change the current position
-of the program's cursor. The library routine would call \fBgetsyx\fR
+of the program's cursor.
+The library routine would call \fBgetsyx\fR
at the beginning, do its manipulation of its own windows, do a
\fBwnoutrefresh\fR on its windows, call \fBsetsyx\fR, and then call
\fBdoupdate\fR.

+most use \fBwmove\fP instead.
+.SS ripoffline
+.PP
The \fBripoffline\fR routine provides access to the same facility that
\fBslk_init\fR [see \fBcurs_slk\fR(3X)] uses to reduce the size of the
-screen. \fBripoffline\fR must be called before \fBinitscr\fR or
-\fBnewterm\fR is called. If \fIline\fR is positive, a line is removed
-from the top of \fBstdscr\fR; if \fIline\fR is negative, a line is
-removed from the bottom. When this is done inside \fBinitscr\fR, the
+screen.

+If \fIline\fR is positive, a line is removed from the top of \fBstdscr\fR.
+.bP
+if \fIline\fR is negative, a line is removed from the bottom.
+.PP
+When the resulting initialization is done inside \fBinitscr\fR, the
routine \fBinit\fR (supplied by the user) is called with two
-arguments: a window pointer to the one-line window that has been
-allocated and an integer with the number of columns in the window.

Inside this initialization routine, the integer variables \fBLINES\fR
and \fBCOLS\fR (defined in \fB<curses.h>\fR) are not guaranteed to be

.PP
\fBripoffline\fR can be called up to five times before calling \fBinitscr\fR or
\fBnewterm\fR.
+.SS curs_set
.PP
The \fBcurs_set\fR routine sets the cursor state to invisible,
normal, or very visible for \fBvisibility\fR equal to \fB0\fR,
-\fB1\fR, or \fB2\fR respectively. If the terminal supports the
-\fIvisibility\fR requested, the previous \fIcursor\fR state is

.SH NOTES
Note that \fBgetsyx\fR is a macro, so \fB&\fR is not necessary before
the variables \fIy\fR and \fIx\fR.

Both ncurses and SVr4 will call \fBcurs_set\fR in \fBendwin\fR
There is no way for ncurses to determine the initial cursor state to
restore that.
