Hi Paulo,
This snippet may help

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <pc.h>
#define cursor(x,y) ScreenSetCursor(x,y)
#define curr_cursor(x,y) ScreenGetCursor(x,y)

int main(void)
{
int x=0,y=0;
    curr_cursor(&x,&y);/*get cursor position this does nothing 
but it shows how to */
    x+=2;
    y+=2;
    cursor(x,y);/*set position*/
    printf( "hello world\n");/* Print some text at position*/
    x+=2;
    cursor(x,y);/*now move to next position*/
    printf( "hello world\n"); /*Print some text at the new position */
getch();/* wait until keypress*/
return 0;
}
