Unless, of course, you have System V/386 Release 3.2 curses and your
terminal supports inserting by character.

This curses will write the character destined for the lower-right-hand
corner (LRHC) in the second-to-last column, insert a character (moving
the character just written into the LRHC), and then re-write the character
in the second-to-last column.
