If you want to move the text cursor within the console window, use position().

If you want to move the mouse cursor on the display, that will require calling a platform-dependant system function.

On Windows, you need to call SetCursorPos() in user32.dll. I'm not sure how to do this on GTK or Linux in general.

include std/dll.e 
 
atom user32 = open_dll( "user32.dll" ) 
integer xSetCursorPos = define_c_proc( user32, "SetCursorPos", {C_INT,C_INT} ) 
 
public procedure SetCursorPos( integer x, integer y ) 
    c_proc( xSetCursorPos, {x,y} ) 
end procedure

Greg, Irv: thank you so much. I'd tried setxy, setpos, locate and a half dozen other possibilities ... but didn't think about 'position' at all.

<sigh> I'm blaming my age again, OK? :)

Appreciate it guys!
