Hi Amanda,

There isn't....  You'll have to keep count of how many positions have 
passed since the last newline, and then set the cursor there.

There  maybe some non-portable platform specific code to perform such 
routines. Check with your compiler documentation - otherwise you may have 
to write the routines yourself. (Isn't curses/ncurses library setup to 
handle character screen manipulations?)

All the best...

Mike

        Subject:        [SLUG] printf control code question


if \n is newline, and \t is horizontal tab what's "home"; as in put the 
cursor 
back to the start of the current line? I've searched high & low, but can't 

seem to find any info anywhere.
