Hi!

I'm working on a console application for HP/UX. This application displays
its results in an old green-text terminal. I was wondering if there's any
way to:
1) Change the location of the cursor (some sort of gotoXY()), so that I can
display text anywhere on the console window
2) Change the text attributes (mainly to display inverse-video and "bold"
text).

Thank you very much in advance,

Diego De Marco

The short answer is yes; terminals respond to escape sequences that tell
them how to display text (bold, underline, cursor position, etc.) but I
can't find the right reference for HP/UX for you.  Enter your terminal type
plus "escape sequence" in Google and you should find what you're looking
for.  You may be lucky enough to find a Java library that will do it all for
you as well.
