<DT><B> Usage </B><DD><P><CODE>void SLsmg_write_nchars (char *s, unsigned int n);</CODE>
<DT><B> Description </B><DD><P><CODE>SLsmg_write_nchars</CODE> writes at most <CODE>n</CODE> characters from the
string <CODE>s</CODE> to the display.  If the length of <CODE>s</CODE> is less
than <CODE>n</CODE>, the whole length of the string will get written.

<CODE>n</CODE> characters.  <CODE>SLsmg_write_nchars</CODE> does not perform any
padding.
