Subject: ruby curses, bug or my mistake?

Ok, I've got a problem in ruby curses.  I'm not sure if this is a bug or 
if it is me doing something wrong.  It's probably me doing something 
wrong, but just checking.

I tried something like this. 

...
win.setpos( 2, 2 )
win.addstr( txt )
win.setpos( 3, 2 )
val = wind.getstr
wind.setpos( 4, 2 )
wind.addstr( val )
...

The first 4 lines of code work fine.  The text shows up on the screen 
just fine.  The last two lines of code do not work.  After I enter the 
string I expect it to appear on the screen beginning at line 4 collumn 2 
after I press enter.  But it doesn't. The cursor just moves to the next 
line and does nothing.  This seems really simple I don't know how I'm 
messing up.  Someone please point out my obvious mistake.
