It's driving me crazy.
I'll never believe it if you tell me it doesn't exist.

How do you set the cursor position???????

In C, that is.

Thanks.

I think the easiest would be if you use libncurses for those kind of things. To move the cursor you should use the function:
int move(y, x);

man ncurses

There is a package called ncurses that does all that screen management for a terminal (or terminal window).

man console_codes

If you don't want to use curses, you can set your TERM env variable to something like vt100 and use the standard ascii escape sequences in your printf statements or whatever output statements you use.
