Wainscotting is anything done between 3' to 5' above the floor, beadboard is a type of wainscotting, but even wallpaper can be considered wainscotting.

From Wikipedia:

Wainscoting

Wainscot or wainscoting (pronounced /wan'skät/ in American English, /wan'sk?t/ in British English) is a panelling style applied to the lower 3' (900mm) to 5' (1500mm) of an interior wall, below the dado rail or chair rail and above the baseboard or skirting board. It is traditionally constructed from tongue-and-groove boards, though beadboard or decorative panels (such as a wooden door might have) are also common. Wainscoting may also refer to other materials used in a similar fashion.

The original purpose of wainscoting was to cover the lower part of walls which, in houses constructed with poor or nonexistent damp-proof courses, are often affected by rising dampness. Its purpose is now decorative.

really? thanks for the clarification. always thought that wainscotting referred to the old fashioned box molding. didn't realize that a tongue and groove (beadboard) was also considered wainscotting.
