This looks like a bug but maybe it's a feature:

With very few exceptions the zcurses subcommands are directly
translated into calls to the ncurses library.  In this case, wmove().

I think it's important that we continue to faithfully reproduce the
library behavior, even if it seems inconvenient.

As you think best. But it does seem buggy. Can one not move toposition zero? Anyway my hack has served reliably for a long time soletting sleeping dogs lay isn't a a big deal. Seems that ncurses couldhave used a bit more testing. I could have made myself useful back inthe day.

BTW, I only got one copy of this post! Did something change? It's mypreference, still I myself didn't do anything.
