 Yes.  Martin's test program has:
 
   addstr("\r ---> ");
 
 I think that updating win->cur[xy] in the _cursesi_addbyte() and
 _cursesi_addwchar() functions won't work, because we have called the
 SYNCH_IN macro before we call them and SYNCH_OUT afterward.
 
 The change makes the '\r' handing in both _cursesi_addbyte() and
 _cursesi_addwchar() consistent and appears to be correct to me (I'm
 happy to be corrected here though!).
 
 Thanks,
 
 J
