On nix-type operating systems, you would use Curses ... couldn't say which module you would use on Win32 systems.(somebody here will know). HTH Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less* -- Jerry A. Fodor	[reply]

Curses has been fully ported to DOS and comes with the DJGPP compiler. It should be trivial to glue this in via perlxs but I suspect that has already been done. AgentM Systems nor Nasca Enterprises nor Bone::Easy nor Macperl is responsible for the comments made by AgentM. Remember, you can build any logical system with NOR.	[reply]

also Term::Cap which has the advantage of being included with Perl.	[reply]

Have a look at the Curses module. It allows you to specify the absolute location of the cursor.	[reply]

if your terminal is vt100 compilant (like linux console), there is some escape caraters than do this. Ask google for more details =) ________________ Hope this helps	[reply]
