I want to have a running total on the display screen. How do I update a number on the screen so the new value shows in the same position as the previously displayed value?

Example:

---------------------
Total: 10 | <-- Imagine this is the display
---------------------

becomes

---------------------
Total: 11 |
---------------------

as opposed to

---------------------
Total: 10 |
Total: 11 |
---------------------



 
Compiler? Operating system?

Use the LINE and COLUMN clauses on the DISPLAY statement to cause the running total item to be directed to the same line and column of the screen.
