many terminals. For those terminals that do not have soft labels,
\fBcurses\fR takes over the bottom line of \fBstdscr\fR, reducing the size of
\fBstdscr\fR and the variable \fBLINES\fR. \fBcurses\fR standardizes on eight
-labels of up to eight characters each. In addition to this, the ncurses
+labels of up to eight characters each. In addition to this, the ncurses
implementation supports a mode where it simulates 12 labels of up to five
characters each. This is most common for todays PC like enduser devices.
Please note that ncurses simulates this mode by taking over up to two lines at

The \fBslk_set\fR routine requires \fIlabnum\fR to be a label number,

+from \fB1\fR to \fB8\fR (resp. \fB12\fR); \fIlabel\fR must be the string
to be put on the label, up to eight (resp. five) characters in length.
A null string or a null pointer sets up a blank label. \fIfmt\fR is either
-\fB0\fR, \fB1\fR, or \fB2\fR, indicating whether the label is to be
+\fB0\fR, \fB1\fR, or \fB2\fR, indicating whether the label is to be
left-justified, centered, or right-justified, respectively, within the
label.
The \fBslk_clear\fR routine clears the soft labels from the screen.
-The \fBslk_restore\fR routine, restores the soft labels to the screen
+The \fBslk_restore\fR routine restores the soft labels to the screen
after a \fBslk_clear\fR has been performed.
The \fBslk_touch\fR routine forces all the soft labels to be output
The \fBslk_attron\fR, \fBslk_attrset\fR, \fBslk_attroff\fR and \fBslk_attr\fR
routines correspond to \fBattron\fR, \fBattrset\fR, \fBattroff\fR and \fBattr_get\fR.
They have an effect only if soft labels are simulated on the bottom line of
-the screen. The default highlight for soft keys is A_STANDOUT (as in

System V curses, which does not document this fact).
The \fBslk_color\fR routine corresponds to \fBcolor_set\fR. It has an effect only
