Backspace should work. If you don't know it is \b.

Subject: [Dev-C++] Clocking a second

I'm another one of those guys leaving harvesting and trying out programming.
In this program I must display the time, secs, mins, and hours. I'm still
working on it, I was wondering if there is a better  way to make it wait a
minute than doing a while loop. Also, I don't want the thing scrolling down
the screen, it seems like it should not move, I have'nt wrote that part, but
I will tonight. I would think that you don't do carriage return line feed,
and use a backspace character ?

Here's my member function prototype in the class Time

  // Wait a second
   void wait_a_second();

Here's my "While Loop" definition in the Function File

// Wait one second, set for Intel Celeron Processor 366MHZ
void Time::wait_a_second()
{
          int count_down = 51000000;  //iterations for 366 celeron pocessor
//Wait for second to lapse
          while(count_down > 0)       //simple repetitive instruction
          {
                  count_down += -1;       //decrement value in variable
          }
}

Again, I will be working on the stationary display tonight.

thanks for any ideas

Louis
