To me it sounds like your main window is not scrollable
(scrollok(mywin,true)). i'm using essentially the same code as above
(for redirecting std::cout and std::cerr to a curses window, via the
std::streambuffer interface), and it "just works", but it requires
that the target window be scrollable. If the window is not scrollable,
and you want to handle the scrolling yourself (sounds reasonable for a
text editor), you'll have to check "am i adding to the bottom/right
corner?" and handle the scrolling in some custom manner.
