System name:		contents-vnder-pressvre.mit.edu
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.2.8 (with mkserv)
Display type:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
	Read vendor manpages about curses.  In particular,
	documentation for the border() function.

What's wrong:
	The manpage mis-names two constants from curses.h
	(ACS_BLCORNER and ACS_BRCORNER do not exist, they are
	really ACS_LLCORNER, ACS_LRCORNER).

What should have happened:
	It should have been right.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

curs_border(3X) says:
     arguments  is  zero,  then  the  following  default   values
     (defined   in   curses.h)   are   used  instead:  ACS_VLINE,
     ACS_VLINE, ACS_HLINE, ACS_HLINE, ACS_ULCORNER, ACS_URCORNER,
     ACS_BLCORNER, ACS_BRCORNER.

/usr/include/curses.h says:
     #define	ACS_ULCORNER	ACS_BSSB
     #define	ACS_LLCORNER	ACS_SSBB
     #define	ACS_URCORNER	ACS_BBSS
     #define	ACS_LRCORNER	ACS_SBBS
