you could use gotoxy(x, y) function in C, but only if your compiler supports the #include file <conio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
printf("The first line\n\n"
;
printf("note the cursor position now\n"
printf("Hit any key and THEN first line changes"
getchar();
gotoxy(0, 0);
printf("OVER WRITTEN HERE\n"
printf("note the cursor position now\n"
getchar();
gotoxy(20,10);
printf("OVER HERE ALSO\n"
return 0;
} Hoping to get certified..in C programming.

theres the ncurses package available for most unix/linux distributions and i've seen a port for the cygwin windows based environent might be worth a look but a lot of these are not very portable. "There are no stupid questions, just lots of inquisitive idiots" - anon
