RETURN VALUE

+       All  routines return ERR upon failure.  Upon successful completion, the

NOTES

        All routines except winnwstr may be macros.
 
-       Each  cell  in  the  window  holds a complex character (i.e., base- and
-       combining-characters)  together  with  attributes  and  color.    These
-       functions  store  only  the  wide  characters,  ignoring attributes and
-       color.  Use in_wchstr to return the complex characters from a window.
