.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
With these routines, the character \fIch\fR is inserted before the character
under the cursor. All characters to the right of the cursor are moved one space
to the right, with the possibility of the rightmost character on the line being
lost. The cursor position does not change (after moving to \fIy\fR, \fIx\fR, if
specified). (This does not imply use of the hardware insert character feature.)
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value
other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion.
