API does not provide a "sequential" write procedure (ie. write to the
screen from the last cursor position using a specified color). API
VioWrtTTY() comes short of what I want to do so I decided to write the
following macro.  However it does not seem to work apparently
VioWrtCharStrAtt() does not seem to move the cursor like VioWrtTTY does.

Am I doing this write?  Is there a work around using strictly APIs?
Thank you.

#define VioWrtTtyAtt( 							\
		buf, 							\
		buflen, 						\
		attr, 							\
		handle ) 						\
	{ USHORT usLin, usCol ;    					\
	VioGetCurPos( &usLin, &usCol, 0 ) ; 				\
	VioWrtCharStrAtt( buf, buflen, usLin, usCol, attr, handle ); 	\
	 }								\

BTW. I am not interested in supporting TTY escape sequences
