.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fB#include <curses.h>\fR
-.sp
-\fBint overlay(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin);\fR
-.br
-\fBint overwrite(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin);\fR

-\fBint copywin(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin, int sminrow,\fR
- \fBint smincol, int dminrow, int dmincol, int dmaxrow,\fR
- \fBint dmaxcol, int overlay);\fR
-.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.
+.nf
+\fB#include <curses.h>
.PP
-The \fBcopywin\fR routine provides a finer granularity of control over the
-\fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR routines. Like in the \fBprefresh\fR
-routine, a rectangle is specified in the destination window, (\fIdminrow\fR,
-\fIdmincol\fR) and (\fIdmaxrow\fR, \fIdmaxcol\fR), and the upper-left-corner
-coordinates of the source window, (\fIsminrow\fR, \fIsmincol\fR). If the
-argument \fIoverlay\fR is \fBtrue\fR, then copying is non-destructive, as in
-\fBoverlay\fR.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.SS "overlay, overwrite"
+The \fBoverlay\fP and \fBoverwrite\fP routines overlay \fIsrcwin\fP on
+top of \fIdstwin\fP.
+\fIscrwin\fP and \fIdstwin\fP are not required
+to be the same size; only text where the two windows overlap is copied.
+The difference is that \fBoverlay\fP is non-destructive
+(blanks are not copied) whereas \fBoverwrite\fP is destructive.
+.SS copywin
+The \fBcopywin\fP routine provides a finer granularity of control over the
+\fBoverlay\fP and \fBoverwrite\fP routines.
+As in the \fBprefresh\fP routine,
+a rectangle is specified in the destination window, (\fIdminrow\fP,
+\fIdmincol\fP) and (\fIdmaxrow\fP, \fIdmaxcol\fP), and the upper-left-corner
+coordinates of the source window, (\fIsminrow\fP, \fIsmincol\fP).
+If the argument \fIoverlay\fP is \fBtrue\fP,
+then copying is non-destructive,
+as in \fBoverlay\fP.
.SH RETURN VALUE
-Routines that return an integer return \fBERR\fR upon failure, and \fBOK\fR
-(SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon successful
-completion.
+These routines return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and an \fBOK\fP
+(SVr4 specifies only
+\*(``an integer value other than \fBERR\fP\*('')
+upon successful completion.
.PP
X/Open defines no error conditions.
In this implementation,
if either of the window pointers are null, or
if some part of the window would be placed off-screen.
.SH NOTES
-Note that \fBoverlay\fR and \fBoverwrite\fR may be macros.

.SH PORTABILITY
-The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions (adding the const
-qualifiers). It further specifies their behavior in the presence of characters
+These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4,
+which adds \fI\%const\fP qualifiers to the arguments.
+It further specifies their behavior in the presence of characters
with multibyte renditions (not yet supported in this implementation).
