 .SH DESCRIPTION
 These functions are extensions to the curses library
 which do not fit easily into other categories.
+.SS curses_version
 .PP
-Use
-.I curses_version()
+Use \fBcurses_version\fP
 to get the version number, including patch level of the library, e.g.,
 .B 5.0.19991023
+.SS use_extended_names
 .PP
-The
-.I use_extended_names()
+The \fBuse_extended_names\fP
 function controls whether the calling application
 is able to use user-defined or nonstandard names
 which may be compiled into the terminfo
 description, i.e., via the terminfo or termcap interfaces.
 Normally these names are available for use, since the essential decision
-is made by using the \fB\-x\fP option of \fItic\fP to compile
+is made by using the \fB\-x\fP option of \fB@TIC@\fP to compile
 extended terminal definitions.
 However you can disable this feature
 to ensure compatibility with other implementations of curses.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.PP
+\fBcurses_version\fP returns a pointer to static memory; you should not free
+this in your application.
+.PP
+\fBuse_extended_names\fP returns the previous state, allowing you to
+save this and restore it.
 .SH PORTABILITY
