Are you sure you have Delphi 2 ??? The console mode is only available 
for 32 applications running Windows 95 or Windows-NT and hence is only 
available in Delphi 2. In fact the console mode functions are Win32 
functions.
You will not find any printed documentation from Borland for those 
functions. Only on-line documentation in the Win32 Programmer's 
Reference.
I use Delphi 2.17.76.0 C/S suite and the SetConsoleCursorPosition is 
available in the on-line help. Just write the keyword in any source 
file and hit F1. You should have the on-line help popup with the 
explanation !
May be you should upgrade to Delphi 2.01 which has corrected help 
files. This upgrade is available at Borland for only $10,0.
Amiti‚s,
