64       These functions insert the <EM>curses</EM> complex character <EM>wch</EM> at  the  cursor
65       in  the  specified window <EM>win</EM> (or <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>).  The character previously at
66       the cursor and any to its  right  move  one  cell  to  the  right;  the
67       rightmost  character  on  the  line  is discarded.  The cursor does not
68       advance.

72       These functions return <STRONG>OK</STRONG> on success and <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> on failure.

75
76       Functions prefixed with "mv" first perform cursor movement and fail  if
77       the position (<EM>y</EM>, <EM>x</EM>) is outside the window boundaries.
