I need to be able to write in column 80 on line 25 : without the cursor going to the next line, thus making line 1 disappear off : the screen. How about: Read the character in column 79. Delete column 79 twice. Insert the last character at 79. Insert the read character at 79 pushing the other character into 80. This should leave the cursor in column 80. Ugly isn't it? Of cource if you can get to the character mode memory directly. You can just store the byte at the proper address. Some systems have an API to get the buffer address. Ken Walter
