+The first four functions get and set those windows.
+It is not necessary to set
 either window; by default, the driver code uses \fBstdscr\fR for both.
-
+.PP
 In the \fBset_\fR functions, window argument of \fBNULL\fR is treated as though
 it were \fBstsdcr\fR.  A form argument of \fBNULL\fR is treated as a request
 to change the system default form window or subwindow.
-

 The function \fBscale_form\fR returns the minimum size required for the
 subwindow of \fIform\fR.
