+ These routines copy <EM>chstr</EM> into the window image structure
+ at and after the current cursor position. The four rou-
tines with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument copy at most <EM>n</EM> elements,
- but no more than will fit on the line. If <STRONG>n</STRONG>=<STRONG>-1</STRONG> then the

ters that will fit on the line.
The window cursor is <EM>not</EM> advanced, and these routines work
- faster than <STRONG>waddnstr</STRONG>. On the other hand, they don't per-
- form any kind of checking (such as for the newline,
- backspace, or carriage return characters), they don't
- advance the current cursor position, they don't expand
- other control characters to ^-escapes, and they truncate
- the string if it crosses the right margin, rather then
- wrapping it around to the new line.
