+\fBborder\fR, \fBwborder\fR, \fBbox\fR,

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBborder\fR, \fBwborder\fR and \fBbox\fR routines draw a box around the
+edges of a window.  The argument \fIls\fR is a character and attributes used
+for the left side of the border, \fIrs\fR - right side, \fIts\fR - top side,
+\fIbs\fR - bottom side, \fItl\fR - top left-hand corner, \fItr\fR - top
+right-hand corner, \fIbl\fR - bottom left-hand corner, and \fIbr\fR - bottom
+right-hand corner.  If any of these arguments is zero, then the following
+default values (defined in \fBcurses.h\fR) are used instead: \fBACS_VLINE\fR,
+\fBACS_VLINE\fR, \fBACS_HLINE\fR, \fBACS_HLINE\fR, \fB\fBACS_ULCORNER\fR,
+\fBACS_URCORNER\fR, \fBACS_BLCORNER\fR, \fBACS_BRCORNER\fR.
+
+\fBbox(\fR\fIwin\fR\gB, \fR\fIverch\fR\fB, \fR\fIhorch\fR\fB)\fR is a shorthand
+for the following call: \fBwborder(\fR\fIwin\fR\fB,\fR \fIverch\fR\fB,\fR
+\fIverch\fR\fB,\fR \fIhorch\fR\fB,\fR \fIhorch\fR\fB, 0, 0, 0, 0)\fR.
+
+The \fBhline\fR and \fBwhline\fR functions draw a horizontal (left to right)
+line using \fIch\fR starting at the current cursor position in the window.  The
+current cursor position is not changed.  The line is at most \fIn\fR characters
+long, or as many as fit into the window.
+
+The \fBvline\fR and \fBwvline\fR functions draw a vertical (top to bottom) line
+using \fIch\fR starting at the current cursor position in the window.  The
+current cursor position is not changed.  The line is at most \fIn\fR characters
+long, or as many as fit into the window.
+.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.
+.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.  Additional
+functions \fBmvhline\fR, \fBmvvline\fR, \fBmvwhline\fR, and \fBmvwvline\fR are
+described there which this implementation does not yet support.  The standard
+specifies that they return \fBERR\fR on failure, but specifies no error
+conditions.
