I am the sysop...  I will see if it can wangle the people above to bring in
a new echo.  That should be very handy to have!

I found a much easier way (I think..) for what I wanted to do. :-) Thanks
anyway...  All I did was use the charout() without puting a new line Escape
sequence at the end...  so the next time I use charout(), it writes from
where I last ended.

So far it works 100%  :-)


   Cheers,
      Graeme
