[comp.lang.pascal] GOTOXY in VS Pascal

BRL102@PSUVM.BITNET (Ben Liblit) (12/06/89)

Is it possible to perform a GOTOXY-type action in VS Pascal?

In other words, can one specify the X,Y screen coordinates of the current print
location?

Of course: isn't that simply an issue between you and your terminal screen?

That is, most screens accept an eescapse sequence that locates the cursor.
Consult your manual, and write a Pascal statment that issues the correct
characters.
