Character <TT>ch</TT> is inserted to the left of the cursor and all
characters are moved one position to the right. The character on
the right end of the line may be lost).<LI> <TT>int insertln()</TT> <A NAME="fun_insertln"> </A><BR>
<TT>int winsertln(win)</TT> <A NAME="fun_winsertln"> </A><BR>
Insert a blank line above the current one. (The bottom line will be
lost).<LI> <TT>int insdelln(n)</TT> <A NAME="fun_insdelln"> </A><BR>
<TT>int winsdelln(win, n)</TT> <A NAME="fun_winsdelln"> </A><BR>
For positive <TT>n</TT> these functions will insert n lines above
the cursor in the appropriate window (so the n bottom lines will be
lost). When <TT>n</TT> is negative,
n lines under the cursor will be deleted and the rest will moved
up.<LI> <TT>int insstr(str)</TT> <A NAME="fun_insstr"> </A><BR>

These functions will insert <TT>str</TT> in the current line left from
the cursor (as many characters as fit to the line). The characters
on the right of the cursor are moved right and will be lost when the
end of the line is reached. The cursor position is not changed.
<P>
<TT>y</TT> and <TT>x</TT> are the coordinates to which the cursor is
moved before <TT>str</TT> will be inserted, <TT>n</TT> is the number
of characters to insert (with <TT>n</TT>=0 the entire string is
inserted).
