	I'm programming in text mode, and would like to know how to write characters 
to the screen without moving the cursor.  Just backing up the cursor one 
column after a character is written is not good enough.
	Here is what I need this for:
	
	I'm trying to write a program that does all screen I/O without the screen 
borders scrolling.  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.

	I would be eternally gratefull for any help anyone could give me.

	---Will
