 Older SVr4 man pages warn that the return value of \fBcurs_set\fR "is currently
 incorrect".  This implementation gets it right, but it may be unwise to count
 on the correctness of the return value anywhere else.
+
+Both ncurses and SVr4 will call \fBcurs_set\fR in \fBendwin\fR
+if \fBcurs_set\fR
+has been called to make the cursor other than normal, i.e., either
+invisible or very visible.
+There is no way for ncurses to determine the initial cursor state to
+restore that.
 .SH PORTABILITY
 The functions \fBsetsyx\fR and \fBgetsyx\fR are not described in the XSI
 Curses standard, Issue 4.  All other functions are as described in XSI Curses.
