That looks fine. Also you will more then likely see this sort of thing
done in the Circle code with
sprintf(buf,"some text");
sprintf(buf, "%smore text",buf);
To do the same thing but overwrite the last newline
sprintf(buf, mob->long_desc (which contains a newline code)
buf[strlen(buf)-1] = '\0';
sprintf(buf,"%smore text", buf);
buf = "hello\n", strlen(buf) = 6
setting buf[5] = '\0' yields buf = "hello"
