.SH BUGS
-The ncurses implementation does not yet handle insertion of a character at the
-bottom-rightmost position of the screen correctly. If the terminal has the
-auto_right_margin property, the real screen will be scrolled up one regardless
-of whether scrollok has been enabled for \fBstdscr\fR.
-
-The entry points \fBechochar\fR and \fBwechochar\fR are not yet implemented in
-ncurses 1.8.1.
.SH NOTES
Note that \fBaddch\fR, \fBmvaddch\fR, \fBmvwaddch\fR, and
\fBechochar\fR may be macros.
+
+On 386 and 486 consoles, giving \fBwechochar\fR an argument with its high
+bit set will produce the corresponding high-half ASCIIZ graphic (SVr4 curses
+also has this feature but does not document it). A control-character argument,
+however, will not typically produce the corresponding graphic;
+characters such as CR, NL, FF and TAB are typically interpreted by the console
+driver itself, and ESC will be interpreted as the leader of a control sequence.
