I believe you can't unless (I guess) you use JNI calls. The reason is IMHO
that Java is a multiplatform environment. And it can't provide platform
specific features. Other platforms (Unix, Mac, ...) than MS DOS may lack
console cursor positioning. For example, on Unix there is an optional
library for console applications -- Curses (Ncurses).
Moreover Java is not very friendly for writing rich console applications (it
lacks convenient input routines that parse users input into primitive types
values, like Pascal's read() does).
