  Hello All
  
  I've been fiddling with ncurses for a while and it doesn't seem to provide 
  what I need right now. I need a method for writing positionally to one 
  line, and one line only, sort of like a curses for one terminal line, not 
  the whole screen, a la the progress line in cdparanaoia ans rpm. Can 
  anybody tell me which lib facilitates this? Is there one? 
 
 Well, curses will let you do this too.

I have a full-term curses interface, but I couldn't get curses to provide 
just a one-line terminal interface, leaving the rest uneffected.

Proper use of '\r' and fflush did the trick.

Thanks - JB

You might also want to check the libedit of readline libraries.
