+These routines write the characters of the

 .PP
 The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument
 write at most \fIn\fR \fBwchar_t\fR characters.
-If \fIn\fR is -1, then the entire string will be added,
+If \fIn\fR is \-1, then the entire string will be added,
 up to the maximum number of characters that will fit on the line,
 or until a terminating null is reached.
 .SH RETURN VALUES
 All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR on success.
+.PP
+Functions with a "mv" prefix first perform a cursor movement using
+\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
+or if the window pointer is null.
 .SH NOTES
 Note that all of these routines except \fBwaddnwstr\fR may be macros.
 .SH PORTABILITY
 All these entry points are described in the XSI Curses standard, Issue 4.
