Returning text cursor to upper left corner o' screen

Well?

Is this a console or a GUI app? Are you using an edit box or simply displaying the caret?

for a console app, use ansi control codes
for cursor position -- escape [ row ; col H

Code:

---

char esc = 27;
printf("%d%s",esc,"[1;1H");

---

Yep a console app. Your answer just prints '27[1;1H', jim.
