    I have another "dumb" question :-)ããI've been through the docs several times and can't seem to find a function doãmove the cursor to a set postion on the screen (example: move cursor to lineã4 3 character spaces in). Any suggestions?ããRight now I'm using a combination of displaying a menu the haveing severalãansis that are blank just a homed cursor to handle logins and new userãapplications. A locate cusor command would greatly simplify this. :-)ããthanks for the help!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ -==<Arcadia - arcadia.servebbs.org>==-ã

Any suggestions?ããActually, it can't be done *unless* the callers terminal is ANSI enabled. ãThen you simply print the ANSI cursor-positioning sequence to the users ãterminal and the cursor moves.ããYou can use some at-codes to make life easier on yourself, such as UP, ãDOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, GOTOXY, and so forth (go and look at your documentation ãand check out file:///sbbs/docs/customization.html about halfway down for ãdetails). Or you can emit the ANSI sequences directly. Google for ãsomething like "ANSI control sequences" for more details.ãã---ãPlaying: "Dazed & confused" by "Led Zeppelin"ã from the "Led Zeppelin" albumã þ Synchronet þ Where we BAJA Rob into writing our modules.
