DESCRIPTION

       with renditions. A parameter which is a null pointer is replaced by the default character.

       The call

       box_set(win,
       verch, horch)

       is a short form for

       wborder(win,
       verch, verch,
       horch, horch, NULL,
       NULL, NULL, NULL)

       When the window is boxed, the bottom and top rows and right and left columns  are unavailable for text.
