Greetings! I am a Perl newbie (as will soon be obvious) Here's what I want to do: From a terminal interface (text only), I print an option like "Enter the path and file name". The user then enters a path and file name (say, /home/user/file), I chomp STDIN and all is well. It would be nice on subsequent invocation of that option for the user to see "Enter the path and file name: /home/user/file" and then be able to edit the string /home/user/file by backing the cursor over the file name and replacing it (the path stays intact). It could save time on subsequent invocations with long paths. Is this practical? And if so, how do I approach this problem? I tried the simple things (like printing the variable with the old path/file to STDOUT) but this leaves the input cursor at the end of the printed string. I would like to be able to "rewind" the cursor back to beginning of the line displayed on the terminal and let that string be available for subsequent editing and input. Thanks! Mark
