curses curiosity

[Christopher Swingley]

Andrew Cooke identified the problem as one involving the cursor.  After 
putting a character in the lower right corner, the cursor is moved to 
the right of it, which is off the screen.

One seeming hack to make this work would be to do:

     #! /usr/bin/env python
 
     import curses
     import curses.wrapper
 
     def main(window):
         (max_y, max_x) = window.getmaxyx()
         window.addch(max_y - 1, max_x - 2, ord('+')) # OK
         window.addch(max_y - 2, max_x - 1, ord('+')) # OK
     #    window.addch(max_y - 1, max_x - 1, ord('+')) # ERR?
         window.insch(max_y - 1, max_x - 2, ord('+')) # OK
         window.refresh()
 
         while 1:
             c = window.getch()
             if c == ord('q'):
                 break
 
     curses.wrapper(main)

Now I've got:


                        +
                       ++

in the lower right, but I can work around this.

Is there another, more elegant way?

Thanks,

Chris
