Stupid question: concatenating strings

I can't figure out how to do this.

I want to do the following

UPDATE newlink SET newfrom = substr(oldfrom,0,1) + '-' + substr(oldfrom,1)

... I want to do this:

take the following variables

CAFG
CBTN
CNPL
CUSA

and transform it to this:

C-AFG
C-BTN
C-NPL
C-USA

Someone please help me! I've been through the user manual & I can't find out
how to do it. Pgsql just tells me:

Unable to identify an operator '+' for types 'text' and 'unknown'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast
