[net.unix] help with tput

brianb@drutx.UUCP (Brian Bell) (07/29/86)

Help!  Can anyone out there fill me in on how to
specify an absolute screen address using tput?  For instance,
if I want the cursor to go to the third row, fourth
column, what is the proper tput command format?  Is this even
possible?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks -

If you're talking about the "tput" command from S5R2 (VAX S5R2 Version 1,
anyway), it's not possible.  "tput" can't deal with parameterized
capabilities.
