.SH SYNOPSIS

It is similar to calling \fBwaddch\fR once for each character in the string.
The four routines with \fIn\fR as the last argument
write at most \fIn\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,

Note that all of these routines except \fBwaddstr\fR and \fBwaddnstr\fR may be
