 In your library list, libform.a should be before libncurses.a; that is,
-you want to say `\-lform \-lncurses', not the other way around (which would
-give you a link error using most linkers).
+you want to say \*(``\-lform \-lncurses\*('', not the other way around
+(which would give you a link error when using static libraries).
 .SH PORTABILITY
 These routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not supported on
 Version 7 or BSD versions.
+.PP
+A few functions are extensions added for ncurses, e.g.,
+\fBform_driver_w\fP,
+\fBunfocus_current_field\fP.
