Here's my way of excluding that string:

     if (text->top_of_screen > 0 && HText_hasToolbar(text)) {
        addch('#');
     }

(The #define should be after the next 2 lines, however).
WRITE_ON_TOP_OF_SCREEN is just a made-up string meaning
nothing in particular.

Well, the code looks like this (somewhat abbreviated):

#if defined(CJK_EX) /* 1999/05/25 (Tue) 11:10:45 */
#include <HTCJK.h>
extern HTCJKlang HTCJK;
extern char *string_short(char *str, int cut_pos);  /* LYExtern.c */

PUBLIC char *str_kcode(HTkcode code)
{
...
#ifdef SH_EX    /* 1999/05/25 (Tue) 11:12:05 */
    if (no_table_center) {
...
#else
    strcpy(buff, p);
#endif
...
}

#ifdef WIN_EX

PRIVATE char *str_sjis(char *to, char *from)
{
...
PRIVATE void set_ws_title(char * str)
{
    SetConsoleTitle(str);
}

#endif /* WIN_EX */

#endif /* CJK_EX */

So, without CJK extensions, I don't get the functions I mentioned.
It would be nice to have descriptions of these functions so we'd
know how they are used without much digging.  I would guess the
"k" in str_code means Katakana?
