-       These  functions  write the characters of the (null-terminated) <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>
-       character string <EM>wstr</EM> on the given window.  It is similar to construct-
-       ing a <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG> for each wchar_t in the string, then calling <STRONG>wadd_wch</STRONG> for
-       the resulting <STRONG>cchar_t</STRONG>.
+       <STRONG>waddwstr</STRONG>  writes  the  characters  of  the (wide-null-terminated) wide-
+       character string <EM>wstr</EM> to the window <EM>win</EM>.  Its  process  is  similar  to
+       constructing   a  <EM>cchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM>  for  each  <EM>wchar</EM><STRONG>_</STRONG><EM>t</EM>  in  <EM>wstr</EM>,  then  calling

-       The <EM>mv</EM> functions perform cursor movement once, before writing any char-
-       acters.  Thereafter, the cursor is advanced as a side-effect of writing
-       to the window.
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   Spacing and non-spacing characters in the string are processed  one
+           at a time, and
 
-       The four functions with <EM>n</EM> as the last argument write at most <EM>n</EM>  <STRONG>wchar_t</STRONG>
-       characters,  or  until a terminating null is reached.  If <EM>n</EM> is -1, then
-       the entire string will be added.
+       <STRONG>o</STRONG>   control characters are processed as in <STRONG><A HREF="curs_add_wch.3x.html">wadd_wch(3x)</A></STRONG>.

+       <STRONG>waddnwstr</STRONG> writes at most <EM>n</EM> wide characters, or until a terminating wide
+       null character occurs in <EM>wstr</EM>.  If <EM>n</EM> is -1, <STRONG>waddnwstr</STRONG> writes the entire
+       wide string.
