 The \fBaddch\fR, \fBwaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR and \fBmvwaddch\fR routines put
 the character \fIch\fR into the given window at its current window position,
 which is then advanced.  They are analogous to \fBputchar\fR in \fBstdio\fR(3).

+the cursor is moved appropriately within the window:
+.bP
 Backspace moves the cursor one character left; at the left
 edge of a window it does nothing.
+.bP
 Newline does a \fBclrtoeol\fR,
 then moves the cursor to the window left margin on the next line,
 scrolling the window if on the last line.
+.bP
 Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column.
 The tab interval may be altered by setting the \fBTABSIZE\fR variable.
