 .SH RETURN VALUE
 All routines return the integer \fBOK\fR.  The SVr4.0 manual says "or a
 non-negative integer if \fBimmedok\fR is set", but this appears to be an error.
+.PP
+X/Open does not define any error conditions.

 .SH NOTES
 The borders generated by these functions are \fIinside\fR borders (this
 is also true of SVr4 curses, though the fact is not documented).

 Note that \fBborder\fR and \fBbox\fR may be macros.
 .SH PORTABILITY
 These functions are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
