Is there a way when writing a command window to cout text to a specific
location in the command window? Like 3 characters over and 2 rows down or

time and it forces the whole screen to scroll up one line it is very slow.

assigning us massive amounts of homework which leaves me very little time
except for the weekend. It's worse than a job..
