 .SH DESCRIPTION
-These routines insert a \fBwchar_t\fR character string
+These routines insert a \fBwchar_t\fP character string
 (as many characters as will fit on the line)
-before the character under the cursor.
+before the character under the cursor,
+as if calling \fBwins_wch\fP(3X).
 All characters to the right of the cursor are shifted right,
 with the possibility of the rightmost characters on the line being lost.
 No wrapping is performed.
+.PP
 The cursor position does not change
-(after moving to \fIy\fR, \fIx\fR, if specified).
-The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument
-insert a leading substring of at most \fIn\fR \fBwchar_t\fR characters.
-If \fIn\fR is less than 1, the entire string is inserted.
+(after moving to \fIy\fP, \fIx\fP, if specified).
 .PP
-If a character in \fIwstr\fR is a tab, newline, carriage return or
-backspace, the cursor is moved appropriately within the window.
-A newline also does a \fBclrtoeol\fR before moving.
-Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column.
-If a character in \fIwstr\fR is another control character,
-it is drawn in the \fB^\fR\fIX\fR notation.
-Calling \fBwin_wch\fR after adding a control character
-(and moving to it, if necessary)
-does not return the control character,
-but instead returns a character in the ^-representation
-of the control character.
-.SH NOTES
-Note that all but wins_nwstr may be macros.
+The functions with \fIn\fP as the last argument
+insert a leading substring of at most \fIn\fP \fBwchar_t\fP characters.
+If \fIn\fP is less than zero, the entire string is inserted
+(stopping on a L'\e0' character).
 .PP
-If the first character in the string is a nonspacing character, these
-functions will fail.
-XSI does not define what will happen if a nonspacing character follows
-a control character.
+Special characters are handled as in \fBwadd_wch\fP(3X).
 .SH RETURN VALUE
-Upon successful completion, these functions return OK.
-Otherwise, they return ERR.
+All functions return the integer \fBERR\fP upon failure and \fBOK\fP on success.
 .PP
-Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
-\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
-or if the window pointer is null.
+X/Open Curses does not specify any error conditions.
+This implementation returns an error
+.bP
+if the \fIwin\fP parameter is null or
+.bP
+if the \fIwstr\fP parameter is null or
+.bP
+if the \fBwins_wch\fP function returns an error.
+.PP
+Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
+fail if the position
+.RI ( y ,
+.IR x )
+is outside the window boundaries.
+.SH NOTES
+All but \fBwins_nwstr\fP may be macros.
+.PP
+If the first character in the string is a non-spacing character, these
+functions will fail.
+X/Open Curses does not define what will happen
+if a non-spacing character follows a control character.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+These functions are described in X/Open Curses, Issue 4,
+which adds \fI\%const\fP qualifiers to the arguments.
+.PP
+X/Open states that the entire string is inserted if \fIn\fP is less than 1.
+This is probably an error,
+because it is inconsistent with other functions,
+and differs from the X/Open implementation on Solaris.
