 The \fBaddch\fR, \fBwaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR and \fBmvwaddch\fR routines put

+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.

 Newline does a \fBclrtoeol\fR,

 scrolling the window if on the last line.

 Tabs are considered to be at every eighth column.
 The tab interval may be altered by setting the \fBTABSIZE\fR variable.
