 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The \fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR routines overlay \fIsrcwin\fR on
 top of \fIdstwin\fR.  \fIscrwin\fR and \fIdstwin\fR are not required
 to be the same size; only text where the two windows overlap is
 copied.  The difference is that \fBoverlay\fR is non-destructive
 (blanks are not copied) whereas \fBoverwrite\fR is destructive.
