Hello everybody, it has been a while since I have posted here. I apologize for my lurking attribute. :) On to my question, I need a way that is rather platform unspecific to control the location of the cursor on the screen. I know of simple ways using libraries like curses, or some of the native API stuff that MSVC uses. But does anybody know a more general way to do it? Basically, and you are going to laugh at the simplicity of it, I just want to be able to move the cursor x spaces backward on the same line without deleting the text that is there. I have attempted to use ANSI sequences...but really to no avail....it is too much hassle on a windows machine to make sure that ANSI.SYS is loaded...... Any ideas? Eian
