Hello,
   I'm writing a C program in which I want to send
control sequences to reposition the text cursor on
the screen.  I haven't had any luck so far.  When
I print the control characters to the screen, they
show up as text characters instead of being interpretted
as commands. I have ANSI.SYS installed.  Is there
anything else I have to install?
 
   I have also tried including the pc.h header file
and using the  ScreenSetCusor function.  However, when
I try to compile the program I get
C:/TMP/ccb07730(.text+5f8): undefined reference to `ScreenSetCursor'

I checked the lib directory and libpc.a is there. Does
it contain all of the functions listed in pc.h?
 
   Does anyone have any idea what the problem is (other
than the fact that I haven't done much progamming and
don't know what I'm doing.)  Any help would be apreciated.
 
Dan
