Thank you. I will do that. I didn't even know about this command to do a 'man' help with it.
This solved a big problem for me. We did a software upgrade on last Saturday (Aug 7th) and after the upgrade this started happening. Our operations staff were confused when the cursor was blinking in the middle of the screen waiting for input, and there still was displayed text on the bottom half of the screen. They had to type over what was on the screen. This can be confusing to anybody. For the time being, I put a screen clear command, but then they had to scroll back a few lines to see the last message. That wasn't very good either. I have done cursor positioning on VMS, (thru cobol too a few years ago), and I knew there had to be something on UNIX. I have always received solutions here when I have asked for it. This forum is very helpful for all users.
Thanks again.
