.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines write the characters of the (null-terminated) character string
-\fIstr\fR on the given window. It is similar to calling \fBwaddch\fR once for
-each character in the string. The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last
-argument write at most \fIn\fR characters. If \fIn\fR is -1, then the
-entire string will be added.

+It is similar to calling \fBwaddch\fR once for each character in the string.
+The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument
+write at most \fIn\fR characters.
+If \fIn\fR is -1, then the entire string will be added,
+up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line,
+or until a terminating null is reached.
.SH RETURN VALUE
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success
(the SVr4 manuals specify only "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon
