sorry - poor memory on my part.  Here's the set I was thinking of.
Note that they don't accept a char*, but a chtype*, which makes them
rather awkward to use.

curs_addchstr(3X)                               curs_addchstr(3X)


NAME
       addchstr,  addchnstr,  waddchstr,  waddchnstr, mvaddchstr,
       mvaddchnstr, mvwaddchstr, mvwaddchnstr - add a  string  of
       characters (and attributes) to a curses window

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>

       int addchstr(const chtype *chstr);
       int addchnstr(const chtype *chstr, int n);
       int waddchstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr);
       int waddchnstr(WINDOW *win, const chtype *chstr, int n);
       int mvaddchstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr);
       int mvaddchnstr(int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n);
       int mvwaddchstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int  x,  const  chtype *chstr);
       int mvwaddchnstr(WINDOW *win, int y, int x, const chtype *chstr, int n);

Otherwise, a
        wprintw("%.s", n, s);
will truncate things - takes some tinkering to do it properly...
